How many different views of creation do native views show?

There are many differences between Christianity and Indian tribal religions. One of the most notable is the idea of creation. Christianity puts a great deal of focus on creation and what it means to the religion. Indian tribal religions prefer to think of creation as the environment as it presents itself in a specific place.

Christianity and Indian tribal religions agree that there is a significant role in a creator.

That may be the only commonality between the two religions. Christians tend to see
creation as the beginning of time and the unfolding of a divine plan, which will eventually and in destruction and judgment. In the Christian religion creation also indicates the point at which Adam enters the world. Also tied into the Christian doctrine is the creation of man. Adam and Eve are said to be made in the image of God. In many religions this equates God existing in human form. Because of the wording in the Bible many cultures also perceive God as a man.

Rather than using creation as a starting point, tribal religions tend to view the entire
concept as developing an interrelationship with other living things. One of the first
distinctions between the two religions is the way in which the supreme being is
conceived. The majority of Indian tribal religions refuse to think of the supreme being
anthropomorphically. Many tribal religions may refer to God as "grandfather" in prayer. Although the Great Spirit bears a resemblance to the patriarchal role in the tribalreligion, there is no call for a personal relationship as Christians require from their own God.
