Document Summary
Iroquois found farming first possibly from the europeans- moved from hunting and gathering to farming, so could trade with ppl from the canadian shield and others who had different resources. Further est. trade networks: spiritual beliefs are strong with all groups. They thought w/o contact with the spiritual world, they could not find happiness: by looking at creating stories from first nations ppl to european, you see how different they are and what they value. In genesis god creates humans first, but in aboriginal creation stories, they animals and humans are created equal and together. Native god of creation is sexless and created man and woman at the same time. In genesis, man was created first and women were created from man. Men in european culture are seen as more dominant, compared to aboriginal: aboriginals see sex and marriage and sexuality as much more calm, and. Europeans also thought that they were too chill while raising their children.
