Explains how the Iroquois believe that the earth was created.
The story tells how Sky Woman fell to the water, how animals helped create land on the turtle’s back, and how the twins shaped the world—so it’s a creation myth because it explains the origin of the earth (though it also reflects Iroquois values and relationships with animals).
