Iroquois Creation Story Similarities

Decent Essays
There are many different creation stories told by many different cultures and tribes, but they all have their similarities and differences. In the Iroquois creation story, animal and man work together to create their world to share. But thinking back to Native American cultural traditions, they praised animals and have always treated them kindly. In the Judeo-Christian story, man is dominating to animals. Which is still true today, people claim ownership over animals. The Iroquois story doesn’t just have a single “ruler,” but instead, a whole team of people and animals that created Earth. In the Judeo-Christian story there is, of course, the Almighty God who created everything. This shows a sign of teamwork and how well people work with

Wampanoag agreed to share or sell their lands to the European Americans and they refused to take the payments. In the Wampanoag tradition, they believed the lands and all creatures were the gifts from God and everyone deserved to get it but they must protect it. It made the European Americans easily take Wampanoag’s lands and declare as their lands. The European Americans started an aggressive expansion to the Wampanoag’s territory.…

    The Hindu creation story is more about the Gods creating the universe by sacrificing Purusha an ancient being that holds within him the cosmos, while Hawaiian creation folklore tells more of an event which created the universe, not really a person. These myths are supposed to explain that which is unknown as in the ancient world one did not have much time to think about the creation of the universe when the whole tribe is starving. These myths serve a different purpose as well, as we can see through history the Gods or God are used to justify actions taken by the followers. For example, the infamous Ku Klux Klan or KKK believed that their work was representative of that of God himself. Moreover, groups such as Hamas and the infamous ISIL and ISIS in the middle east justify their atrocities using divine destiny to convince other of their cause.…

    They occupied a vase area of the nation of their times, which was surrounded by many bodies of waters. All the nature and the fact they only communicated orally plays an important role in their beliefs. They believed in the spiritual world, and all things have a spirit. The “Great Spirit,” also known as “Hawenneyu” or “Enigorio,” the good mind, is the most important of all the spirits. Also, there are inferior spirits, who receive their powers from the “Great Spirit,” for example, in “Iroquois Creation,” Cusick writes, “he gave thunder to water the earth by frequent rains, agreeable of the nature of the system; after this the Island became fruitful and vegetation afforded the animals substance.”…

This myth seems to focus creation on the inhabitants of earth rather than earth itself. I can appreciate this because the spiritual creation of animals seems more probable to me then the spiritual creation of earth. " One day the Great Ruler said to his people: "We will make a new place where another people may grow,"" (Iroquois, pg. 36).…
