The Story of Turtle Island
The legend of Turtle Island is a foundational story within many Indigenous cultures in North America. According to Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) mythology, long ago, the world was covered with water. The first beings lived in the sky and one day, Sky Woman fell towards the waters below. Various animals tried to help her, but it was the Great Turtle who volunteered to carry her on his back. The animals then placed soil on the Turtle’s back, creating a new land where Sky Woman could live. This land became known as Turtle Island, symbolizing creation, community, and the interconnected relationship between humans and nature. 🐢🌿
