In which indigenous religion is the supreme being female?

Some polytheistic religions have both gods and goddesses, although the principal god is usually male. The ancient Greek religion had Athene, the goddess of wisdom and cunning, as well as many other goddesses. In the ancient Egyptian religion, Isis was the sister and wife of Osiris. Biblical and archaeolocal evidence shows that the Hebrew people worshipped Asherah, apparently as the consort of God, prior to the Babylonian Exile. After the return from Babylon, Asherah seems no longer to have been worshipped, but a new spirit or goddess called Lady Wisdom had taken her place and did not disappear from Judaism until the first century CE.
