In our cultures observed in module, All cultures believed their creators created the earth and the humans in different ways. They viewed their creators as unworldly gods and worshiped them individually. Where the raven in the Inuit culture was praised for more naturalistic reasons, such as food and homage, the Mayan and Puritan cultures praised for gift of life and superior knowledge. In the Inuit myth, it was perceived that a Raven was the creature. It was believed that the Raven created man through flaps of his wings creating growing pea-pod plants. Mayan and Puritan cultures both believed that a superior man created mankind. However Mayan culture believed they were created between two Gods one of man and one of feathered spirit. Each
There are three groups, the Mayans, the Inuits, and the colonial Americans. The Mayans had two creators. The Intuits had one creator. The colonial Americans, also known as the pilgrims has one God. The creators and God are important because it showed them how they believed how the world started. All the people worship their “creator/ God” because they think they put them there for a reason. For the Inuits, the creator is a raven that is half human half bird.” He had the powers of both a man and bird, and could change from one to the other simply by pulling his bead above his head as one lifts up a mask”.

“The Earth on Turtle’s Back” is a creation myth retold by Micheal Caduto and Joseph Bruchac. The myth suggests that a muskrat ‘created’ the Earth by pulling it up out of the depths of the waters. Similarly, “When the Grizzlies Walked Upright” is also a creation myth retold by Richard Erodes and Alfonso Ortiz. This myth explains that the first Indians were created from a union between the grizzly bear and Sky Spirit. Although the myths reveal that the Onondaga and the Modoc both believe that there is a higher power, each tribe has different views on how their Sky Chief is.

Hi… I search for the chapter title in the Internet. What does it mean? How does it relate to the chapter? Well, I found that is the study a bird of the crow family (e.g. crows, ravens, rooks, etc.), but the symbolic meaning of the Raven in Native American Indian lore describes the raven as a creature of metamorphosis, and symbolizes change, or transformation, instead the Raven is considered a trickster because of its transforming, or changing attributes in other tribes. In the case of Cheryl, by the chapter, I can tell is a good thing; giving the case that her body is getting stronger, of course she was beaten by the trail.
“One general truth that threads throughout the Native American spiritual beliefs is the belief of the Mother Earth spirituality” (Coll). They often called earth their mother and called father the air. The earth to the Natives is very sacred to them and is the most important thing to them. Most of the ceremonies were in some way revolving around the earth and they called earth “home.” Most of the ceremonies were practiced for many years and were passed down through generation to generation. The Native Americans didn’t have a book like the bible or any language that was written. One big thing they had was Totems. These were everywhere in their tribes and it was supposed to represent people and the animals that represented them. The Indians were supposed to have 7 spiritual animals and the many animals on the totems were supposed to represent all the person’s spiritual

A technique that is used in many creation myths can be referred to as "creation from above." In this method of narration, the creator often creates a replica of earth within the heavens, and somehow recreates this image in the abyss below. An example of this can originally be found in Kund Rasmussen's collection of Eskimo myths. In this story a being called Tulungersaq, or Father Raven is born in the heavens. He initially takes the form of a human being and is entirely unaware of how he came into existence. He is in complete darkness and it is through his sense of touch that he becomes aware of his surroundings. Through his exploration, he discovers a sparrow, and realizes that this is the only form of life that had been in existence before him. He goes on to bury something beneath the earth and soon after he discovers that the earth is no longer sterile, it is now covered in bushes and grass. Tulungersaq is still
Every person in America has a myth or conviction of truth as to how creation was formed and human beings came into existence. The following are inclusive in creation myths, the first is the Zulu myth found in the continent of Africa, and the other is the myth of Norse originating from Europe.

Have you ever wonder how the world was created from another culture’s perspective? Native Americans used creation myths to explained to their people how the world was developed overtime.

One shared ritual all cultures participated in were the telling of stories. Stories that taught us how to live and how not to live. Stories which were passed on through generations and retold again which served as rules that were acceptable in each unique society. The most common types of religious stories that were told all around the world were called “Creation Myths”. These stories explain how the world, mankind, animals, and plants came into existence.
In most cultures and myths most people seems to agree on that the animals and creatures of this world, were here way before humans ever existed. The different ideas of ways of how humans are created are very different but yet most cultures do agree that animals were here before humans. Some of these creation myths also believe that an animal was honored by the creator or God to help create this world. Two creation myths that seem to agree on more things about the creation with animals are from Siberia and North America. Neither one of these cultures or tribes are from the same time period or location, yet their views are so similar.
