Na'vi creation story?

[trey94]

Does anyone know if the Na'vi have a creation story? As to what created the universe, where Eywa comes from, etc?

Hopefully that is something we'll learn from the upcoming movies and novels!

I think its inevitable that a smart being such as the Na'vi would ask "Where do we come from?" and likely "What was before that?".

What answers they generated to these questions is basically Cameron territory. However, it would be logical to deduce that the Tree of Souls may have provided them with hints of their evolution.

Their explanation of death being the returning of borrowed life energy, would imply that such questions are asked, and likely given some kind of answer.
On Earth, most every people has a creation myth, some featuring fantastical beings, others that can be impossible within our scientific understanding of the laws of physics, some are just easily debunked hokum, the US is no exception to this, btw.

A second logical deduction might be that as Eywa is "made up of all living things", she could not be a creation goddess, so may have been created at the same time as life on Pandora, perhaps as part of the same creation event.

Because Cameron's Avatar contains a number root source "mirrored " examples from earths native peoples reflected through a unique fantasy shell, this gives Avatar's story a very unique "feeling" on a number of underlying core layers , all native peoples have at the roots of there tree of life the original seeds of creation story , so its very likely the "Na'vi" (Native minus the letters E.T.) have a deep creation story as part of there peoples mythology.

I have gone into some of the reflected na'vi cultural examples coming "very close" to the cultural examples of real the
Haudenosaunee peoples original "five clans" (now six) there historical talk of there peoples time of great sorrow
(a epic multi generational war among these five clans)
and there story of "the great peacekeeper" (Deganawida) who brought "The peoples" together after a time of great sorrow though he certainly did not ride a large flying creature there are a number of parallels if one takes the time to look.
