Christians as a whole believe that God is the creator of the heavens and the earth, and that he did so in 7 days. With all the other religions that are in the world today there are many other beliefs to how everything came to be. Even though another religion is not word for word what the Christian Bible says does not mean that the religion does not believe creation to be the same as what Christians believe.
Genesis chapter one talks about how God created the world in a division of 7 days, day one creating the separation from light and darkness and so on. The Native Americans have a belief that goes along to be exactly the same. They believe God to be the God of 7 directions and the everything he created is linked to those 7 directions. The 7 directions being The East, The South, The West, The North, Above, Below, and the Divine Spirit. The Native Americans have there own interpretation of how creation happened in a system which is very similar to what we believe.
Different interpretations of things is what makes cultures so unique. Anything can be told in a verity of different ways with out it being wrong.

This is good, but I did not see the relation between the native Americans and the the g]Genesis story ,however all of your other points are very good.
You cover the seven points well. A little more comparative description would have been helpful. Other than that, good job.
You did good. Just compare a little bit more, but good job!
Okay well noone ever says that someone does a bad job on their report. But you my friend...just kidding your work is very good. I do agree with aravind about the relations, but you still did good!
Probably my favoriate report thus far.
Good job E, good comparisons, but you did use the Genesis story otherwise great job.
Very well put in mentioning that the different interpretations of things, in this case two creation stories, are what make the cultures unique.
You understand it perfectly. Even though we are an ocean away and thousands of years apart, both cultures believe in the same God - One God - the only God. Nice work.
I thought your point about how cultures are unique was very insightful.
good idea to point out that everyone has their own interpretations
I agree with almost all of your points. There were a few that confused me, but the rest was really good. nice jobb
