All three creation stories involve a tree as a main part of the story.  In the Seneca and Iroquois creation stories this is how the woman first gets to Earth from heaven, and in Genesis this is how Adam and Eve learn of good and evil, by eating the fruit from the tree.  Is there some significance as to why trees were included in all three creation stories or is it just a coincidence?  - Renee Rosser

In the Iroquois story why would the evil twin enjoy the favour of his grandmother?
