I like how you compared the story to Genesis.  This is such an interesting story of creation.  For the first time hearing it, the thought of living creatures living "above the rainbows" is fascinating.  There are so many creation myths, but this one definitely stands out as it explains how crawfish meat is spoiled, which is not something you hear included in creation myths.  I agree that this story should be preserved for future generations because of the dwindling population of Native Americans today.  This myth provides insight into the historical culture of the Cherokee that should not be forgotten.

Do you believe that the Cherokee shared similar creation stories to that of the other Native American tribes?
