The whole story: In an ancient time before there were Humans on Earth, a man in Heaven uprooted a great tree. His wife looked into the hole this made, and saw stars glittering and sparkling in darkness. Curious, she leaned over the hole too far—and fell into the hole. Down and down and down she fell out of Heaven among the stars.Far below, winged creatures swimming in Ocean looked up and saw this Star Woman falling from Heaven. They flew up together, caught her on their backs, brought her gently down, and set on Great Turtle's back, who was swimming in the Ocean. Then, one by one, various creatures dove under the Ocean to bring up mud to make a home for this Star Woman. None succeeded, until Muskrat was able to bring mud up, which was used to coat Turtle's back. As Sky Woman slept, the soil on Turtle's back grew larger, streams appeared and trees, shrubs, grasses, and other plants grew up from the soil. Thus, this land we live on is Turtle Island, and the indigenous world rides on the back of Great Turtle. Soon Sky Woman gave birth to a female child—First Woman. Sky Woman raised this child on their Earth home. When her child was grown to full womanhood, Sky Woman returned to the sky to become Grandmother Moon. From there she watches over her children. In due time, First Woman was impregnated by the West Wind, and she gave birth to twin brothers. These two brothers—called Maple Sapling and Flint Boy by the Haudenosaunee of the Finger Lakes—then named all the living things of the Earth.
