I found Mooney, though sympathetic, to be patronizing and insulting toward the Cherokee, at least in his outlook. While he was 'progressive' for the time, reading the book was difficult, as one must sort the fact of Cherokee belief from Mooney's sometimes infuriating commentary.

There are several records of stories similar to the flood, Jonah and the whale, etc that are interestingly similar to biblical accounts, making me wonder if the Spaniards didn't get some missionary influence in before our recorded records. First contact was around 1540 by de Soto, but since they were around for nearly 50 years before that, I wonder if stories filtered in from Florida and the West prior to recorded contact? I love the story of how Nunyunuwi was killed by the mere site of 7 naked menstuating women -no Spanish influence there!! Well, the number 7 seems to me possibly a European influence, as it competes with the # 4 for importance, but 4 makes far more sense to me as an older and more primal number.
