    I like the way you told that story. The Wendat people refer to the pregnant mother and the tree that fell from the sky and in that version it's a little frog that gathers soil from the roots of the tree after it sank.
    I've read other versions too but they have the same elements and the same meanings.
    These stories should be taught in every school in Canada.

      Wow , so nice to see you here , my friend .
      I've always
      wanted
      to go to
      Australia --
      and hopefully
      someday
      i will .
      I especially
      want to visit
      the
      ABORIGINE
      SACRED
      PLACES .
      ... btw , have
      you ever seen
      this movie
      from the late
      1970s
      with actor
      Richard
      Chamberlain
      called ... i
      can't
      recall if it's
      either titled
      THE
      LAST WAVE
      or
      THE 5TH
      WAVE
      ?
      -- but it was
      filmed in
      AUSTRALIA
      it's a
      riveting
      story
      where he's an
      attorney
      representing
      and
      defending
      some
      Aborigines
      in the city
      who get into
      trouble
      and then
      some
      unusual
      and rather
      paranormal
      events
      happen
      -- THEN
      THE
      HEAVY RAINS
      come
      AND
      THE RAIN

      DOESN'T
      STOP .
      I watched it
      again here
      on the tube
      this past year
      i hope it's still
      here for you
      to watch
      and
      share
      with others
      as it
      really is a

      ( but some
      WON'T
      want to
      watch it --
      they'll think
      IT'S TOO
      SLOW
      -- no cars

    I was raised around a lot of Native iconography & ideology regarding respect for the land, but I really want to take the time to learn as much as I can about Native American cultures. We're taught nothing in school about North America pre-European arrival, which is heavily diluted by the history of Europe. I feel so deeply connected to this beautiful continent that I call my home & feel that it's my personal responsibility to show respect to those who hold the deepest connection to it.

    • @noahriding5780

      You often have to re-learn how to interpret everything after realizing a lot of the history we learn is false. Even if I didn't know or learn about native beliefs, a lot of society and history have been influenced by PROPAGANDA. This means often the heroes and villains can be mixed up. KINGMEN especially are bad and you can identify that in trying to determine which things are good and bad. There's usually someone trying to profit from trouble and war (Kingmen).

    You are a very good story teller.
    How the lands ended up being the shape of a Turtle, and how your people would know the overall shape is another amazing aspect of the story.
    It is also interesting how many other cultures also ended up with a Turtle saving their them from the flood or being of even greater importance as well.
    Japanese:
    "In Shinto mythology, the creation myth tells of a turtle named Takamagahara who carries the god Izanagi and goddess Izanami on its back as they create the world."
    (Mike Grover)
    Chinese:
    "For every passive and feminine Yin, there is an active and masculine Yang. The two exist together. The carapace or upper shell of the turtle is associated with the Yin. It relates to Pangu, the creation figure, who separated darkness and light.
    The turtle or tortoise was Pangu’s companion through this journey of Yin and Yang. That also gives the animal an elevated role in Chinese culture and adds to its complexity when you consider other dual roles, such as Heaven and Earth. The origin of chaos also figures into the mix, where the turtle plays a role in repairing the sky from a deluge. The animal is therefore a pillar of culture." (Chris Dinesen Rogers)
    In both Norse & Hindu the Turtle is even greater, being the World/Cosmic Turtle.
    Australian Aborigine's :
    "They symbolize wisdom, longevity, and spirituality. In our cultural traditions, the turtle is revered as a symbol of creation, with many stories and legends depicting turtles as the foundation of the Earth." (Nayeli)
    I am also intrigued by the fact that the 12,000 year old Dene language includes names for the 4 Races of people (white, black, red, yellow) when modern history tells us they did not know of each other back then. Modern history is a bit broken eh.
    As one delves into the stories of global indigenous peoples, we find more and more evidence that we ARE All connected.
    It is good that you have taken the time to share the true history of your people here, so that one day we can re-write history to its correct version.
    Namaste 🙏

    I like that you linked the various stories from other cultures together. I suspect that there are actually many, many historical items that will have 'second witnesses' in some other culture. But there's this thing called enmity that was placed in this world. And that enmity often prevents people from meeting other cultures very well.
    I also have seen things that give me the idea that native beliefs do not have to be harmful and don't have to compete against the scriptures. Often they back each other up, like the story you presented.
    A lot of native stories can be found to also match up with stories in the book of Mormon. Like the story of the Nicotani. And many others.
    I hope you will keep teaching your children good things and that they will keep listening. :)

      Wouldn't sea levels rose several thousand years ago massive areas of land that had previously been occupied went underwater permanently. Hence there's a heck of a lot of flood stories although regional flooding continues to happen much more frequently. Of course people always talk about the great flood of something that happened a long time ago but we have a great flood occurring right now as well.

    The story is the same from one to the next. It is creation that tells the story differently when necessary to the listener. Nature is how the way is intended. In this way, there is balance. In times of the Great Awakening, there is turmoil and chaos when there are many who cannot bring themselves to trust others because of the history that hurt them. During the time that such is the case the stories shift according to the listener. “He who hath an ear let him hear. (If one can comprehend what is being said, the same is part of this flock-n-pack)” - .. as quoted in the book I personally recall from years ago.

    Hello :) I'm a university student from Germany currently on an exchange in Canada and I'm trying to learn about the Indigenous Peoples. I'm trying to learn from authentic sources, because I know there are a lot of Legends attributed to Indigenous Peoples that are not actually from them or Legends that are told through the lense of white culture, which can change the message entirely. I read a book (Indigenous Writes from Chelsea Vowel) that says the best way to identify a good source, is to ask which specific nation and community the Legend is from and who from that community told this Legend. I wanted to ask if you could tell me this regarding the Legend you're telling in this video. I hope this doesn't offend you in any way and if it is in any way disrespectful to ask this, I am really sorry that was never my intention and please let me know, so I can do better in the future.

      Aaniin, mina Kizhep. Hello and good morning. I apologize for the late response. Definitely no offence takin. There are so many regional differences in the First Nations of TI. This story is of Ojibwe origins, specifically Manitoulin Island and Medewin.

    I love your animated "story painting" energy here! Here's an older one, and low res, but the artwork is lovely: th-cam.com/video/Etn92Ms8plo/w-d-xo.html
