What I can say is that, unfortunately being able to cite any examples, sorry George, needs must, I really am as sure as can be that the belief system of a tribe in my area was water based. The sound of it flowing may well have been of great significance. They, like we s h o u l d be today, were, on occasion or probably as a 'given', sensualists, in my opinion, very aware of and respectful to the environment in which they lived. I view them on a fundamental level as our superiors. Never, ever, underestimate our ancestors. By doing so you may have a greater chance of finding traces of them today. They have my absolute respect in turn.
Just as an aside, your words made me think of a book I've been more pondering on than reading for the past year. I'm reading it in dribs and drabs: conceptually, it's very interesting. The comments in this link are worth reading...
