@sundancer16 I believe so too. Didnโt they find the ark on a mountain top? I thought I read a article about that once. Now I need to go look for it again lol. The Iroquois Creation story with the turtle is a very cute story as well. I love reading all the different stories from all the the cultures I find them fascinating
It sounds so similar to the Garden of Eden story. I really do think the Garden of Eden story is true and Noah's flood is true, too. Almost every single culture in the entire world has folklore with a man and his family and a boat and a great flood. Their names are different and the boat looks different in each tale but it's too much of a coincidence for all these civilizations from all over the world with a thousand different languages to have the SAME story. It's a collective human memory of our ancient past.
The Cherokee tale told here explains the origin of various berries and, in the process, presents an unspoken but powerful case for respecting one another and the earth. The first man and woman live in harmony, until one day the man speaks in anger and the woman leaves him, walking so fast he cannot catch her. Regretting his outburst, he appeals to the sun, who agrees to help by slowing the woman's pace--creating in her path raspberries, then blueberries, blackberries and, finally, strawberries, which ``glow like fire in the grass.'' Stopping to taste one, the woman finds that its sweetness ``reminds her of how happy she and her husband had been together,'' and she decides to share the fruit with her husband.
