Creation story

Our Creation Story explains the origin of this world and reveals human responsibilities through a series of events that shaped our world:

– A pregnant woman fell from the upper Sky World
– She was placed on back of a giant turtle
– Mud from the bottom of the ocean grew into an island
– Sky Woman’s Daughter was born and herself became pregnant with twins

“Sky Fall,” Stan Hill. Mohawk, 2005

– Creation Twins contested for dominance over the world
– Humans were created from the clay of the Mother Earth by the Good-minded Twin
– His brother, Flint, created misshaped creatures and sought to destroy life on the Turtle Island
