Turtle Island Land Acknowledgement
The story of Turtle Island is a creation story (see Religion and Spirituality of Indigenous Peoples in Canada). There are many different versions of the story. Turtle Island is another name for North America. The origin of the name comes from the Algonquian-and-Iroquoian-speaking peoples. They are from the Northeastern part of North America. The stories are about a turtle that carries the world on its back. It is a symbol for life, the earth, and Indigenous identity. Though regional versions exist, at its core, these creation stories are a symbol of life, the earth, and Indigenous identity through a deep appreciation for nature. These stories explain the creation of the world. In these stories, animals frequently help to form the earth with the aid of supernatural beings. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/turtle-island-plain-language-summary
