} Turtle Island {
The Turtle Island myth comes from the indigenous peoples of North America. Many versions of the tale start in the Sky World - a land in the heavens, where supernatural beings existed. One day, a pregnant Sky Woman fell through a hole and descended to Earth. The animals of Earth rushed to help her and she was gently guided down by birds and placed safely onto a turtle’s back. The animals brought forth mud from the bottom of the water and placed it onto the back of the turtle, until it formed land for Sky Woman and her descendants. That’s how the Earth got its dry land.
