"Sky Woman and the Big Turtle: An Iroquois Creation Myth" tells the story of Sky Woman, who descends from the Sky World to Earth, falling through a vast void.

As she plants seeds, life begins to flourish, leading to the creation of plants, animals, and eventually humans. This vibrant tale highlights themes of creation, interconnectedness, and respect for the Earth, celebrating Iroquois culture and mythology. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
