Native American Creation Tales

I had some trouble making any actual sense of the Native American creation stories, which I connect to my Christian and Darwinist educations. Both Christianity and Darwinism can work together; simply put, God created evolution. In the Christian creation stories, (one) God is mainly an organizer of chaos, ordering everything according to a satisfying plan for human beings to consider. It is almost too convenient, the way the bible can be interpreted, in regard to satisfying both the human mind and the teachings of Darwin. Although the bible doesn’t account for dinosaurs, it does place humans last in the evolution, and take away some of the sensationalism, and you have what could be your basic big bang theory.
The Pima Creation story was obviously not originally written down, so it does not have numbered parts like the Old Testament text. Instead there is a much more creativity, but less form. In the beginning there was no earth, no water, nothing- I heard that one before. The rest is almost nothing like the Old Testament creation story, and therefore cannot be understood through current scientific understanding. The story is magical. It is not so much about the order of creating the earth, but about how the process took place:
-the doctor of the earth rubs his breast to make the greasy earth; he rubbed his palm, not three, but four times to position the earth.
-he creates ants and then revises this creation.
-he makes man out of his eye and the shadow of his eye to make man look like him. Then he revises man after making the sun and the mountains.
-the recipe for the sun is hardened ice in a hollow vessel, placed in the sky. The moon has the same recipe. The stars were spit into the sky.
-He rubs his breast to make man doll and a woman doll. With nothing to eat, the people eat each other.
-He kills the remaining people by letting the sky fall to the earth. He does this a number of times, finding something faulty in all of the people he makes.
-He starts over on the earth.
The issue I had was that the story feels senseless, and redundant. I don’t know exactly why this is so bothersome for a creation story. Christians are taught that God is all-knowing, but Native Americans are pagans, and believe their god’s have faults. I suppose the Christian beliefs developed out of Jewish beliefs which developed out of Ancient Mesopotamian beliefs. Religion has evolved as well. It’s hard for me to understand any primitive stories of creation.
The Iroquois story has even more issues for someone accustomed to Old Testament creation. Mainly the story of creation begins with two worlds already in existence. Also, the story is full of animals who serve the people and gods of the story. The only animal ever pointed out in Genesis is the serpent, Satan.
Other than the serpent, Human beings live out the rest of their lives in the Old and New testaments disconnected from animals and the natural world to some extent. It seems that, based on biblical education, that Human beings- with the exception of ritual animal sacrifices, are somehow above the natural world, and that because we are God’s most prized creatures, we should perpetuate a connection to the higher realm of God and heaven. I like though, much more, that the Native Americans priorities involve and connect both the natural world and the spiritual world.
