Southeastern Indians traditionally viewed there was an Upper World in the sky that was pure and beautiful. Deities such as the sun and moon live in the Upper World where there was structure, organization, towns and council. As well as a Under World below full of disorder, impurities, evil beings who would cross into this world and harass with temptations. The Seminole Nation is divided into two religions, Christianity and Traditional. The Seminole Nation in Oklahoma has approximately twenty Mekusapkv-cuko (churches). Traditional Seminole church hymns are sung before, during and after sermons. The Traditional religion is the stomp dance. The stomp dance is derived from the Green Corn Dance, which was brought over by the Five Civilized Tribes
