Navajo Creation

 When I was younger, I never paid attention to the numerous biblical or mythological allusions that are present in many texts. Today, I got to discover many biblical allusions in regards to the different places/entities/people that are in a text called Navajo Creation. There are references to the “First Man” and “First Woman” which can be compared to Adam and Eve in the Bible. Also, in the text the first world had nothing but darkness and emptiness which also compares to “the beginning” in the Bible.
