The Dutch gave an influential tide to both the Natives and the French colonists because they created Fort Orange along the Hudson River, the Dutch saw the French as enemy`s, because they had better supplies like weapons and tools to gain better alliances and trading partners.

The Iroquois Confederacy is similar to the United States government because of the following. Firstly, both governments having the choice to vote for their leader.

Torture and ritual cannibalism were some of the ugly traits of the Iroquois, but these were shared with several other tribes east of the Mississippi. The False Face society was an Iroquois healing group which utilized grotesque wooden masks to frighten the evil spirits believed to cause illness. Simply put, the Iroquois were the most important native group in North American history.
Before Europeans even knew of the Americas there were Indians. The Indians had diverse cultures and conflicts with each other. There were hundreds of different groups of Indians. Most hated each other and killed each other. Some sought to get beyond murder and cannibalism.
The Beaver During the mid-17th century, one of the bloodiest conflicts in North American history was between the Iroquois Confederacy and many of the tribes that were situated throughout the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes region, including Hurons, the northern Algonquians, and their French allies. Monopolizing of the fur trade in that region by the Iroquois was the main purpose of the conflict. Before American pelts were booming on the market, Europeans had obtained furs from Russia and Scandinavia. And during the 16th century, Basque fisherman overwhelmed with the Newfoundland frost began bartering with the natives in that region and got hold of choice beaver fur, decades before any European settlement or trading post was established

In the 1700s another tribe Tuscarora tribe became a part of Iroquois Confederacy and made it a league of six tribes. They were Native American people and used to practice Algonquian culture. Instead of sharing the same culture the five tribes got in fight with each other and it gave a chance to their neighboring tribe to attack them.
Simply put, the Iroquois were the most important native group in North American history. Culturally, however, there was little to distinguish them from their Iroquian-speaking neighbors. The Iroquois had matrilineal social structures - the women owned all property and determined kinship. After marriage, a man moved into his wife's longhouse, and their children became members of her clan. Iroquois villages were generally fortified and large.

The two stories of creation we 're very similar in both Christianity, and the Iroquois. They both had the same outline, but each of them added their own personal twists that made it their own. Their first similarity was the amount of children they had. They both had 2 kids, that we 're opposites. One of the differences about this was that one of the stories was how in one, the kids we 're dire opposites.
Some differences in the stories Iroquois and the Judeo Christian is having an almighty god. In the Judeo Christian story they believe that god created the heavens and the earth. Unlike in the Iroquois story where they believe that there is no almighty god and that the earth was made on a turtle's back. In the Iroquois story animals play a huge part starting with the two birds breaking Sky Womens fall. Also in a way they are viewed as a god or a power source.
When comparing the Southwest indians to the Eastern Woodlands indians I found there were some differences, in their homes, the indians in the Southwest had hut like homes made of stone or adobe while indians in the Eastern Woodlands had lodge like homes made from wood. Farming and hunting seemed to be big for the Eastern Woodlands, but most of the Southwest people were just gatherers and hunters when they could be, although there were some successful farmers. Both areas had hostile groups of people, but the two groups in the Southwest later became more settled and peaceful. The Eastern Woodlands and the Great Plains had a few differences, again their homes being one of them.
Floating about in all types of literature, there are many legends as to how the earth was created; these legends are known as creation myths. A creation myth offers answers to questions that ask how the earth was created, and explains the social customs of today as well as the workings of the natural world by telling an elaborate story. The Cherokee Indians have spread their beliefs on this topic throughout generations through oral tradition. Recent authors have taken these myths to paper to preserve history and to spread them even further around the world. “How the World Was Made” is a creation myth that not only offers an abundance of information regarding the origin of earth, but also supports the social traditions of today’s society and attempts to explain the intangible, natural workings of the world.
Today we have two stories, both based on same topic; Creation of earth. One is called the Iroquois story of creation, which is about the woman that fell from the sky. Then we have the Genesis Creation story which is about how god created the earth.
