No I don't think they are either. I think I was partly looking at the 'look like' aspect here; both share the communal 'longhouse' way of living. Admittedly, a lot of cultures have practiced that, but along with matriachy and an earth based religion, there did seem to be some parallels. Though as John Hughes pointed out to me a long time ago it is only worth taking so much from an analogy.
Anyway maybe there is an influence there, maybe not.
