Is Deganawida a Prophet of the Creator?
10:29 AM Monday.
Here is the thread of questions I just asked Google Gemini about this topic. It touches on Islamic studies, too.
Q1. Did the Great Peacemaker Deganawida say that his teachings came from the Great Spirit, i.e., from God?
Q2. Do contemporary Haudenosaunee interfaith teachers understand Deganawida to roughly fit the concept of a prophet in the Abrahamic traditions?
Q3. Could a Haudenosaunee faith keeper also follow Islam, or would the two systems be incompatible if Deganawida is held to be a prophet after Muhammad and if the Great Law of Peace is held to be on a par with Islamic law?
Q4. What about the Red Road - it's a Sioux teaching, but it's also pan-Indian - could a Haudenosaunee faith keeper also follow the Red Road?
Q5. How can American Muslims learn about the Red Road and the Great Law of Peace in a respectful interfaith way?
Q6. Say more about pan-Indian pluralism and its relation to Islamic exclusivism - how are these negotiated in contemporary indigenous-Islamic interfaith relations?
Fascinating. What do you think - is Deganawida a prophet of the Creator?
Is the Red Road compatible with Islam?
