What are the gods that humans worship?

[Tecate]

Essentially the book begins with a hunter who captures a woman from another tribe or community. The woman finds a type of grain bearing grass growing in a meadow down by a river. She realizes that if she leaves some grains more will grow for the next season. One season her now fairly large grain field is flooded by the river destroying her crops, so she vows to always give the river a portion of her crop as an offering. This becomes a custom within her family and the community before being adopted and expanded upon to appeasing the gods of the river, the weather, storms etc.

I felt that this could be how the concept all came about.
