creation story

The Iroquois story and the Christian creation story are very similar when comparing the two. Because they both have a woman as life bringer and in the Iroquois story there were two minds a good and a bad mind. Just like the Christian story there is good and evil and in the story and in both stories there is an ultimate creator who creates the world put living things to go hand in hand with each other. In the story they good and bad mind fights and the good mind create things in the world for the better and the bad minds create things to sabotage the things the good mind created. After this the good mind went back to create things to make everything right so the bad mind began to get jealous because he couldn’t create things like the good mind. So he propose a fight between the two to be one single leader of the world and they both had things that could kill them and they both couldn’t use the tool to kill one another. The good mind agreed and the good mind ended up killing the bad mind with the horns that could kill him and the bad mind died and said he will become the ruler of the minds of the world. In the christian story its the same as the devil being jealous and want to be god and he gets outcast and control the evil things in the world.
