Cherokee Religion

Believe in one god, Ye ho waah.

Believe Ye ho waah consists of three "god heads," The Great Spirit, Ye ho waah in the form of a man, and Ye ho waah.

Monotheistic, Ye ho waah and no other idol.

Worship Ye ho waah through ceremonies, dance, song, festivals, and prayers.

Purity and sacredness through Ye ho waah and Ye ho waah alone.

Ye ho waah roams the earth helping Cherokees through their everyday lives.

The elders, medicine men, and priest (Uku) spoke the words of Ye ho waah. Not written on paper.

Ye ho waah created the world in 7 days.

Cherokees had a sacred ark that held religious items that only Uku could touch or evil would overcome the tribe.

Christianity

Believe in God and only God.

Believe God consists of three "god heads," The father (God), the son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.

Monotheistic, God and no other idol.

Worship God through church, song, revivals, and prayers.

Salvation through God and God alone.

Jesus died on the cross to forgive the sins of the world.

The Bible is the word of God and you must follow it's instructions. Preachers, priests, and elders teach the meanings of the Bible.

God created the world in 7 days.

The ark of the Covenant was filled with religious items that could not be touched by man.

Now you can see the similarities of these two religions and way Cherokees were easily converted to Christianity.
