Big Turtle
1. Summary

Many years ago the world had two parts. Animals lived in the lower part, which was
completely covered in water and had no land or soil. Above was the Sky World, where the sky
people lived. The Sky World had lots of soil, with beautiful mountains and valleys. One day a
girl from Sky World went for a long walk and became very tired. A little girl from the world of
Sky leaning on an apple tree, then the ground where she sat cracked and she fell into the water.
There are two geese that can catch the fall of a little girl into the water. After successfully
captured the confused girl to return to the sky world. finally, the swan called out to the big turtle,
then Big Turtle gathered all the animals together and discussed that we had to find a few grains
of land to make this girl home.

These animals are otters, muskrats, otters have tried to take it to the bottom of the water
but they cannot accept it because they cannot dive to the flow of water deeply and the depth of
the water base. Only one animal can take soil at the bottom of the water, it is a Toskwaye, a
small frog, who is always mocked and demeaned by his friends. After Toskwaye took the land at
the bottom of the water, he spilled all of his land behind the Big Turtle to be used as a residence
for the girl and then Toskwaye died. Sometimes the land grew into a large island that was
sufficient for a little girl to live in. The Turtle ordered the others to rub the soil grains and spread
them around on his shell. The grains grew and grew until a large island was formed - big enough
for the girl to live on. It grew into our world as we know it today. And the descendants of the
Sky girl became the Earth's people.

Until now some people say the whole world still rests on Big Turtles back. When he gets
tired and changes his position, we have earthquakes. Toad has not been forgotten either.
American native Indians call her "Mashutaha", which means 'Our Grandmother'. No one is
allowed to harm her.
