The "Spirits" are an alien race which appear in the sci-fi television show, Stargate SG-1.
The "Spirits" pose as the gods of the Salish (Native American) people brought to their world by the Goa'uld. A fairly immaterial race, they drove off the Goa'uld, and the principal members of this race have adopted the protective roles, names, and animal-appearances of Xe'ls (raven-form) and T'akaya (wolf-form).
SGC's survey team discovered that the Salish's planet had a rich lode of trinium, and tried to get permission from the Salish to mine it, but the Salish (and/or the Spirits) refused, considering the environmental damage unacceptable. A second team was sent to start a covert mining operation. However, after the Spirits reveal their formidable powers upon SGC personnel, SG-1 convinces them to return to their planet, bury their stargate, and discontinue posing as the gods of the Salish and reveal themselves in their true form.
