The Jewish and the native americans had the same ides in the creation of the earth and universe. The jewish believe the universe was created in 7 days. Through out the week the seas, plants, animals, adnd human race were created.the Native Americans belived that it was created in 7 directions as in the east, south, west, north, above, and beneath. The semiliarties they share are that in each day or direction many different things were created. Genesis talks about how every day something new was created and the native americans believed that god created the earth and univesre in the same amount of time.
The overall statement that both Genesis and the Native Americans are saying is that god created the whole universe in 7 days and that he took time to only rest on the last day which gave us our holy day. Thier views were bit the same just different things where created on the days than in the directions the native americans veiwed

Wade, I agree with you on all those points because it followed both stories and you expressed that very well. I also liked how you expressed everything and includes some of the actual directions in the story of the Seven Directions.
You did a good job. The comparisons were good and to the point. It was easy to understand and thought out well.
Wade you were very organized and to the point. Good job.
It was easy to understand. I really liked it good job!
I thought the same way you did by comparing the 7 days and 7 directions. Great minds think alike!! good job Cousin!
Good controbution, i enjoyed this a whole lot. Very descriptive and entertaining.
good job Wade,the comparisons were good and you inturpeted the two stories very well.
Great comparison, very well explained and easy to understand.
Good post, Wade. You got the point that is is the same God - ONE God for both. But I disagree with the idea that the 7-day creation is part of the N/A Native tradition. 7 Directions is language to say, "All that is seen and unseen," in other words all of creation. But the 7-day Creation Myth is Jewish. The N/A native myths are many, but all leading to the central point of one God.
you pointed out numerous similarities and explained them all in depth. good job
I liked the way you compared the Genesis and the Native American stories. You obviously understood the assignment.
I like how you used the days as a similarity. That was a different approach
Very organized and you could tell you put a lot of thought and effort into the paper. good job wade.
