Cherokee Creation Story  

Yes, we were discussing exactly this in our Catholic Bible study since we've been reading passages from Genesis of late. Im sharing this video with them. It's wonderful.👍🏽💙😇

@@bozarts22 every religion is the same dish with different dipping sauces.......am I wrong?

Sort of, but when you get down to the deeper theology, there are nuances which most people, unfortunately do not have time for with busy lives trying to survive, live, raise families, etc. However, the richness of interreligious dialogue and comparison is what I do now for a living and it is very rich indeed. Native American and Tibetan Tantric Buddhism inform my Catholicism everyday. I did not have this growing up because the Church was not open to other religious faith systems of belief before the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate! When you think about it--we all act interreligiously all the time because we live, work and play with others from lots of different religions and that is part of our American Democracy as well and what the country was founded on--religious freedom for all! India as well has such a long history of the intermingling of Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim religions! Not always in harmony, but those systems also are very intermingled.

Yes indeed

its not if you tell the story right it sounds like she tried to make it sound more "indian" and more mystical

​@xcowboyx22 did the fact that she's Cherokee telling their creation story pass over your head? Could be why it sounds "indian" just a thought

Upper world is the spirit world, the perfect land of the dead high above us where heavenly beings roam. How can it be mars when earth and mars are on the same plane?

Many old cultures have the concept of upper, middle, and lower. Tolkien’s concept likely came from Norse mythology, Midgard

I think Tolkien was inspired by both norse and Finnish mythology

@@jaxthewolf4572 Indeed! As well as some Celtic

@@sylvanstrength7520 That makes sense. 🙂

Gotta be cause you ain’t Cherokee and do You mean mixed European?

@@WildindianTv you know, there are more tribes out there aside from just Cherokee. I don't have one drop of Cherokee in me but my boys do even though everyone says that. Lol

@@KETOInTheKitchenWithJasmine I’m a real non reservation Indian so yeah I know. In fact I have other American aborigine tribes in my bloodline.

@@WildindianTv there are a lot of people with mixed bloodlines who didn't grow up on the rez....

@@KETOInTheKitchenWithJasmine yeah but the whole land mass is ours by birth right so what do you call the Indians who never went to those reservations but are more Indian by blood than majority of those reservation Indians there are dark skin full blood Indians there but for the most part you see a hijack 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dinosaurs ain’t real bruh

are you?

@@xcowboyx22 I am. Cherokee, Hualapai & Yavapai Apache.

Why aren't you telling the story, why aren't you showing her love? Don't forget the ones who told you these stories don't look like you, let go of your judgment and labels Cherokee lies in one's dna not on there outer vessels.

@@Deborah-ir2qw She isn’t one of us

@@Hualapai702 is she a Reptilian?

No the hell we not

@@WildindianTv Christians have nothing of their own. They claim other cultures beliefs and mythical stories as their own physical history. Then pound their chests. It's rather bizarre behavior based in many humans fear and ignorance. If Lion of Judah had been born in Saudi Arabia, they would be praising Allah. They don't look for true answers. They deny what they don't like.

@@danielpaulson8838 yeah you right

Who makes a WHOOOOLE LOT of mouth noise… but ok we’ll think she’s mixed

Exactly wtf I was saying

racist

@@jaxthewolf4572 Amen

FYI- First NASA engineer who was indigenous woman was named Ross, as this lady telling stories here. The SE nativeAmericans did/do NOT look like inuit or navajos ... the stubbornly-or-cleverly non-marching [Trail of Tears] *cherokee* [Tsalagi] with whom i grew up in Georgia & Alabama believe that anyone who respects & observes the culture are community members ... no govt recognition required, and no blood quantum. Just sharing another perspective ...

Well I believe the All native Americans have relations of the 10 lost tribes of Israel

All natives??? Hmm natives of what land? Because there are 7 continents I’m sure each one has there own natives. All natives are definitely not of the 12 tribes. When we use words like all or never you can count on the statement to be false. Just so you know. But you are awake, we been waiting for you.

There are over 33,00 different Christian denominations. All making God into their own image. Ignorance and hateful appropriation and denial of other cultures makes Abrahamic evolved theism's very unattractive for the longevity of humanity. You yourself do not represent anything good and kind from this comment. From the outside, Christians like you are a$$holes. I know Christians who would never say what you did. You're not speaking from the Bible. You're playing God. Want to make a little progress in the world you're wish to dumb down? Show a hint of your version of God instead of denying what is actually visible. Denying what is real in order to be right is for children and Pee Wee Herman. Or at least show a little respect and kindness to other humans. All of them. (Ever read Jesus) Comments like yours are nothing to be proud of. They are based in hatred, fear and judgement of others.

@@triunegodfollower6449 note that Gary said Native Americans - two continents

@@danielpaulson8838 you seem very angry - while proposing others be more considerate. hope you find some peace so that you can more readily enlighten others. Compassion is also a virtue.
