Turtle : protection, mother of the earth, longevity, love, knowledge

Protector of the newly borns, guiding them into the world, the tortoise is truly the bearer of the earth in the Sioux conception of the world.

She is in direct relation to birth and little children.

According to the Iroquois, the world lies on the back of a tortoise, which is at the origin of its beginning.
