In "The Iroquois Creation", there were spirits and different gods
who created different things in the Earth. In "Genesis 1", people
thought that God created everything. The similarities is that both texts stated that the ruler or God created Earth. From thanksgiving in 1620 to King Phillip's war in 1670, the slip from collaboration to conflict because the people wanted more land and the right to rule of a governor chosen by the king.
From the Thanksgiving in 1620 to King Phillip's war in 1670, there was a slip from collaboration to conflict, because some people got needy and wanted to own land for themselves. Both of the stories I read were on how the earth was created, they had similarities and differences. The similarities between the stories are that either Gods, or some sort of Being created the earth, and changed it as they pleased. In the story, “The Iroquois Creation,” Muskrat got a piece of the earth and it was planted onto Turtle’s back. The Great Leader sent down Ata-en-sic, who gave birth to twin sons. They were the spirits who made the earth good and bad. In “Genesis 1,” God put what he saw fit into the void of nothingness, and created earth and put it in it. So you can see that both stories of creation are different and that there is a possibility that people could’ve fought over want they wanted because of their Gods’ and beliefs.
The Europeans and the Natives didnt share the land because the Natives said there were spirits and different gods who created different things in the Earth. While the Europeans thought that God created everything. The similarities is that both believed that God or Gods created the Earth and everything around it. It then became a conflict because the people wanted more land and the right to rule of a governor chosen by the king.
During the Thanksgiving in 1620 to King Phillip's war in 1670 there was a slip from collaboration to conflict because people wanted to own lands by themselves cause of their needs. In the stories I read they were talking about who created earth. In "The Iroquois Creation", Earth was created by spirits and different gods. In "Genesis 1", people thought that God created everything on Earth. Basically the similarities is that the ruler or God created Earth.
The reason why the Europeans didn’t live on the same land is because they believe in two different things. The Native Americans said that they believe in sprits. They also said there are different Gods for everything. “There will be light and there was light”.God was right because their was light. The Europeans said that is only one God in the world. The similarities is that they both believe in God or Gods. The conflict was that people wanted more land the governor was chosen by the king.
The Native Americans and Europeans did not share the land because of their differences. For example, the Native Americans believes in multiple gods, and spirits too. But the Europeans believed differently, they only believed in one god. But their are similarities, for example, they both believed that god make this land and made lightness, and darkness. Furthermore the conflict is that people wanted more land and the right to rule of a governor chosen by the king.
The Europeans and the Natives believed in certain things. The natives believed in more than one god, spirits and the Europeans only believed in one. However, the god/s created the same thing lightness and darkness etc. The reason they didnt share land was people wanted more land and the right to rule the land
The Europeans and the Natives didnt share the land because the Europeans thought that god prefered them and loved them more. They wanted more land and thought the natives were just like animals in nature. They both believed that God or Gods created the Earth and everything around it. This became a conflict because the people wanted more land and the right to rule of a governor chosen by the king. Also the natives belived in spirits for everything but the Europeans belived in only one god.This turned out to be a big conflict for the land. This is why the natives and the Europepeans didn't share the land with each other.
The reason why the native americans and the europeans didnt share the same land was becuase of the diffence in religion. The native americans believe in gods. And the europeans believed in one God. The similarites is that the rulers also known as the God created the earth. The conflict in this pictre is that people wanted more land and the right to rule of a governor chosen by the king.
The reason there was a conflict between the Europeans and the Iroquois about land was due to their different religious beliefs. The Iroquois believed there was more than one god. The Europeans believed that there was one god and he created the Earth. The Europeans believed god loved them more and gave them better economical advantages. In the “Iroquois Story of Creation”, it tells the tale of animals trying to save the Earth. In “Genesis 1” it states how God created the heavens and the Earth and the people and the animals. The religions had there differences, but they had their similarities, too, about God creating the Earth. Their religious differences held them back from sharing the land.
In the Americas, Natives formed many different tribes with unique culture and history. Europeans imposed harsh terms on Natives. Natives didn't share the land with the Europeans because the Natives died rapidly from exposure of new viruses.
The two beliefs of how the earth was created from the Iroquois religion and the ones the Europeans had both had similarities and differences. For one, they both believed that their "God", or ruler(whoever they worshiped) had something to do in creation.The difference is that while the Europeans thought God created everything, the Iroquois believed the spirits of animals also helped create the world. It also explains that some things in nature are results of the actions of the animal spirits like when the turtle(who carries the world on its back)stirs, waves arise and if restless, earthquakes occur. And the reason why they might have had a conflict besides greed for more land and riches, the difference of their religion might have had an effect. Maybe their religions go against each other or maybe they wanted the other to convert to their religion but they refused, perhaps offending them or then leading to conflict.
The differences about the stories is that the Iriqois' story is that there were two brothers and one was good and the other was evil. The good one used the pregnant ladies body to create the world and everything natural. The evil one just wanted to destroy everything. They dueled and the winner(the good brother)then ruled the world he created and then he banished his brother. Then in the bible version of the story there was alredy a God and he made the world, the oceans, the people and the animals. He also created week days and months and years. He did all of this in six days. Collaboration became conflict over people desiring more land and who should rule over the land.
The Native Americans and the Europeans didn't share land. One reason was that the Natives weren't immune to the European's diseases. If they shared the land, the diseases would spread and the Natives would die. Another reason is that there would be a conflict over the division of land. One of them might get too greedy and start a war. Since the Europeans would out-number the Natives, the Natives would lose. Therefore either way if they shared the land, the Europeans would be more powerfull. This is why the Europeans and the Natives didn't share land.
The Native Americans and the Europeans didn't want to share the land because each of them have two different opinions about who created the earth. The Native Americans believed that there was more than one god that created different parts of the Earth. But then the Europeans said that God was the only one who created the Earth.Also the Europeans might have overpowered the Native Americans because of the decreasing number of Native Americans caused by the diseases. When the Natives start dying the Europeans will start taking their land and overpowering the Natives. So that's why they won't share the land together.
In "Genesis 1 " there was only one god and in "The Iroquois Creation" there were multiple gods for different things. The Europeans think that there is only one god and he created everything in only six days. Both creation stories agree that some sort of god(s) created the Earth. From Thanks giving in 1620 to King Phillips war in 1670; the conflict was because the people wanted land.
The Native Americans & Europeans didn’t want to share the land because they had different beliefs in how the Earth created. The Native Americans believed that Muskrat took a piece of the Earth & planted it onto the Turtle’s back. The Great Leader sent Ata-en-sic, who gave birth to twin sons. They became the Spirits of Good and Evil. They were the spirits who controlled everything good & bad on Earth. In “Genesis 1,” God put what he saw was good into the void of nothingness. He created Earth & also put it in that void. Clearly the Europeans & Native Americans disagreed. They did have similarities though; they both believed something that they worshiped created Earth. They most likely didn’t share their land because of their religious beliefs.
The Europeans and Native Americans didn't share the land because there were different gos that crated things on Earth. For example, the Native Americans believed in multiple gods and spirits. But the Europeans though diiferently. They only believed in one god.
The Europeans and the Natives didnt share the land because the disagreed on each other. The Natives said that there spirits and different gods where who created different thing one Earth. The Europeans dissagreed on them. The Europeans said that there is only one god. So they didnt share land with each other.
From thanksgiving in 1620 to King Phillip's war in 1670, the slip from collaboration to conflict because people wanted more land and power to rule. Both Iriquois and the Europeans had different and some same similarities. In the Iriquois Story of Creation, they believed that different spirits of animals and gods created and did different things which happened in nature. For example, the turtle carried the world on it's back does relate to nature because it causes earthquakes and water to stir causing tsunami's and floods. In the Bible's Story of Creation, it only talks about God creating the world. He first created the Heaven and earth. Then he created the light and the dark. He seperated them both causing Day and Night. He then created the natures of the world( oceans, seas,trees,grass, seasons, days, and years). He finished all of this by the sixth day.
