3 Native American Creation Stories



This is a middle school Language Arts project.  It explains 3 different creation stories from 3 different North American tribes; the Iroquois, the Seminole, and the Cherokee. 
  • What is a creation story?  (What does it explain?)
  • What do all 3 of these creation stories have in common?
  • What is the connection between animals and humans according to many different Native American tribes?
  • How does the Native American view differ from the of native Americans?

Check out the tribal websites for all 3 of the tribes in this video.
