Response to "The Earth on the Turtles Back"

The reading is a representation on how the earth was created. It shows how one turtle had held up the earth on his back, and a woman planted seeds into the earth to have a better future. Now, this story is showing how the earth was created to a certain culture. There are many perspectives on how the earth was created; God said "let there be light" or, The Big Bang started out the earth. In other words, we started out as apes and grew into intelligent human beings. Many people have their own beliefs,  and according to this belief, this native tribe telling this story shows how each animal had a important role in their lives. In addition, these animals represent, perseverance, courage, and self sacrifice. In our beliefs, someone or something was sacrificed to make our future better. Whether it was, particles compressed together in space, and everything was in a tight spot to just explode in space. Or either when God said "let there be light" and every creation was created to make earth adaptable. Or maybe was it was this story, where a turtle held the earth on his back, and a woman planted seeds to make a better future. Everyone has their own perspective of things on how something was made, or introduced. But it's all a representation on what we were introduced in, and taught to believe in.
