Sky Tree: Similarities And Differences

Superior Essays
Throughout time cultures and societies have come up with stories, created systems of government and have made their own beliefs. The story of how the earth was created has been controversial but many of the stories have similarities and differences that make you wonder how they came to know them. Some documents such as civic documents and creation documents have been found to be similar and different in many ways even though they`re known to be created in different time periods. Some of these documents are Sky Tree, the Book of Genesis, The Bill of Rights, “The Iroquois Constitution,” and the Ten Amendments. While most of the cultures are different, they all have a set reason of why they were created, similarities and differences that show …show more content…
Sky tree and the Book of Genesis have something that is the main source of everything. For instance in the Book of Genesis God provides everything for the creatures and the humans to live on. God is creates trees, plants and wildlife so the humans and animals can live without having to struggle to live. In the Book of Genesis it states “God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the shy, an over every living thing that moves on the earth.”” God creates everything the humans and creatures need and he is the main source of life. Rather than in the Sky Tree a huge tree in the mile o the sky provides foo and everything the humans and creatures need to survive and live off of. …… Although both stores have a main source of everything in their world, they each have a different providers. Another example of a difference in Sky Tree and the Book of Genesis is that the organization of which they were created was much different. In the Book of Genesis God created the earth among seven days. Each day there was something different was create and one the seventh day God rested. As for in Sky Tree the earth was created all at once. The soil from under the sea was all brought up by the animals and then the land was created. Theses differences …show more content…
Such as in the Ten Amendments it states” A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free states, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.() In this statement it gives people the right to bear arms which could easily cause converse if everyone has a weapon. But in “The Iroquois Constitution,” their whole goal is to bring peace amongst the nation and doesn’t say anything about bearing arms for any of their tribes. This can show that they have a different view on how to use bear arms and they had differences on what they thought was right for their society or tribe. Another example is that each of these documents have a different leader that is supposed to enforce the laws. Such as in “The Iroquois constitution it states “ The Lords of the Confederacy of the five nations shall be mentors of the people for all time…They shall be proof against anger, offensive actions, and criticism.”(Dekanwida 108).This statement suggest that the leaders are to be more of a friend than anything else and they are to be more of a mentor than a rule enforcer. As for the Ten Amendments and the Bill of Rights it doesn’t mention anything about being a mentor. They base their government more on strict rules and if you disobey them you will be punished in a certain way. All of these

    The documents the Constitution of the Iroquois Confederacy, Common Sense, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, Equiano's Interesting Narrative, The Story of Mary Jemison, and Notes on the State of Virginia, I found that they all had a similarity of resolving problems surrounding power relations between people.

However, six hundred years prior to that creation, a group of native tribes came together and forged the America’s true first constitution. Through this creation, a powerful nation, known as the Haudenosaunee, or known as to Europeans the Iroquois Nation, became an important part in the shaping of the Americas.
