Well, many ancient cultures seem to tell similar stories, the best one I know would be the book of enoch but I've read very similar stories in places that were very far and very unknown to prehispanic cultures at the time.
Basically, we were created by a supreme force and set to live in the earth,. Meanwhile on the "heavens"/ afterworld , etc. there is another race of beings who disobey God and come to earth to mate with women and rule as kings, which they do. Some even as relatively benign rulers.
But at this point that there's an interesting parallel with the archetypes that Carl Jung describes in his studies of the human mind. In these works he describes how humans seem to be drawn to archetypical figures that he describes as psychological pre-configurations that later man would portray in his myths and legends, except that what if these "myths" were actually true? there could be a chance that humans became so obsessed with these archetypes because the demo-gods that came to earth astonished and mesmerized us with what to us seemed god-like powers, beautiful appearance and perhaps even their celestial nature. Perhaps these beings we considered Gods and Heroes existed and humankind became enamored with them.
All mythology- Norse, Greek, Mayan and not to mention the later abrahamic religions and many others talk about Giants, Demi-gods and Godfigures which are often described as eventually becoming selfish, moody and thirsty for blood, lust and power; they begin defiling all of God's creation because they are bored of being invincible and all mighty in this realm, humans also follow these behaviours since we seem to be magnetized to idolatry. But God is unhappy about this and sends a cataclysmic flood to drown all creation which has noo hope as it has become defiled and corrupted due to the Gods and his offspring bloody ways.
The flood happens and it's like a nuclear holocaust: All progress and advances that these demigods once help flourish is left in the past and mostly erased. Ages later only vague instincts of these bloody times remain in our ancestral DNA. This might be what the Shaman is referring to.
Remember, Humanity was mostly down with these beings: they seduced us with their might and power. The Human women they took as wives were taught witchcraft and secrets of the heavens, other fallen angels taught humans how to make war, build weapons and much more. They transformed the world into chaos and suffering and carved their lustful existence in our genes. Think about the archetypical dragon or snake, think about the titans, giants or nephilim. The DemiGods that were and are idolized. Could they still be alive? it's a possibility.
Top of my head I can just tell you that most "bigfoot" sightings match the description of what the nephilim looked like: gigatic, red headed and with 6 fingers on hands and feet. They survived in caves where they fled God's flood and as of the Demigods, well, just see the world and you'll find that someone is still seducing humanity and ruling from the underground. They cannot rule directly anymore but the humans that get seduced by their old ways replicate what they once were: thirsty for blood, lustful and corrupted.
