Tiny Muskrat: The Great Tree
The Ancient Chief pulled out The Great Tree, and made big holes in the ground where the roots were. The Chief’s Wife fell into the deep holes of the roots and went down into nothing but water. The tiny Muskrat swam deep down into the water and pulled up earth. The Tiny Muskrat wasn’t the strongest animal in the water, but was so determined to pull up earth. The Turtle helped the Muskrat up and onto his back so she could rest and breathe. The Swans brought the Sky Lady down to earth and she then stepped down and touched it.

    The Modoc’s animal in the myth was the grizzly bears, which was looked upon as ancestors to humans. It was stated, “They were the first Indians; the ancestors of all the Indians tribes.” For that reason, Indians who were residing around Mount Shasta never killed a bear. In Maidu myth, the turtle was the animal that assisted Earth Initiate to gather dirt to make dry land. The myth confirmed, “Earth Initiate scraped the earth out from under Turtle’s nails, and out it in the palm of his hand and rolled it about until it was round…” In Genesis, the serpent revealed itself as the dreadful one who convinced Eve to eat the fruit, which God forbid Adam and Eve to pick on that fruit tree. The serpent persuaded and told Eve, “Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know the in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as god…” In spite of the three creation myths, each animal made an impact to the…

    The world we live in today is far more complex and variegated, compared to past civilizations and cultures. As time passed, the world population increased and a variety of completely diverse cultures formed. Even though some cultures are completely different, every single one of them has two things in common, a past history and some form of a belief system. Among all of the cultures in this world, one of the most unique and fascinating are the Native Americans. The ancestors of today's Native Americans often explained their beliefs through their phenomenal stories. Probably one of the most commonly used subject among many Native American tribal stories is the creation of the earth, which was visualized differently throughout the many tribes.One of the many famous theories or belief stories in other societies is the Big Bang theory, which represents the creation of the earth on a scientific level or mindset.

    One similarity between the myths of the Navajos and Greeks is that they both believe that their gods or deities created earth, and believe in anthropomorphic deities. Among the stories of the Native American tribes and greek mythology, the “themes of water appear to play a big factor in the wiping out of evil” (Hamilton 84). The water is symbolizes the cleansing and action of purifying the world. In Navajo myths, many gods worked together along with a few mortal beings to create Earth. Meanwhile, in Greek mythology, it was mainly Zeus who created Earth with the aid of” his five brothers and sisters”(Hamilton 83). Nowhere in Greek mythology have humans helped the Gods create planet Earth. It was only the Gods and powerful creatures that created the world we live in now.…
