The Legend
of Grandmother Turtle
In one of the
creation stories told by the Cheyenne, before people lived on the earth
it was covered by water. The Creator wanted to use mud from under the water
to make solid ground, but needed a place to put the mud on top of the water.
Grandmother Turtle rose to the top of the water to carry the mud that became
earth. To this day, turtles walk very slowly because they carry the weight
of the world on their backs. Some Native Americans refer to the earth as
Turtle Island.
The power
of turtle is
her deliberate and thorough approach to life; Turtle is also courageous
because she makes progress only when she sticks her neck out, and moves
forward with patient, steady flow in order to achieve the desired results.
