| | My second comment is how symbolic color is to the native americans. all throughout the second origin myth, white and red especially are prevelant. The first and second areas the created tribe settles is white, and the second is red. the poles that are covered with yellow clay that becomes red by burning, the white eagle feather as a sign of peace, again the arrows of white and red, the blue bird that came every day to the town, the red rat that emerged etc.... and especially the use of dual color ("His bones.... on one side red, on the other blue") and their hearts being partially red and white towards the end. | | My second comment is how symbolic color is to the native americans. all throughout the second origin myth, white and red especially are prevelant.

| | In both the “Iroquois Creation Story” and “The Woman Who Fell from the Sky” there were twin brothers; one symbolizing evil and the other good. As both of these stories parallel each other, they together also parallel the Christian origin of the earth. In the Christian story, God is good, and the serpent is evil and although there are not two men, Eve does act in a man’s “role” when deciding to eat of the fruit and thereby change the entire course of human history. | | In both the “Iroquois Creation Story” and “The Woman Who Fell from the Sky” there were twin brothers; one symbolizing evil and the other good.
