Tower of Babel.

Tower of Babel. | According to Oneida legend the 1st chief was a woman named Godasiyo. At this time everyone was in a single tribe. But there were arguments about various issues, & people kept dividing against each other. Eventually they moved to different areas & language diverged until they couldn't understand each other. | image tagged in oneida traditional dress,native americans,historical,myth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

He needed somebody to speak for him due to stuttering.

He needed somebody to speak for him due to stuttering. | Deganawida or the Great Peacemaker was a shaman who believed that those who spoke the same language should stop fighting & work together. He showed people miracles while his spokesman Hiawatha promoted unity, until they agreed to join as the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Republic. | image tagged in meeting of hiawatha and the great peacemaker,native americans,true story,disability | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

The continent(s) which you call "America," we call "Turtle Island."

The continent(s) which you call "America," we call "Turtle Island." | Long before the world was created, there was an island in the sky inhabited by sky people. One day a pregnant sky woman drops through a hole created by an uprooted tree & begins to fall for what seems like eternity. Coming out of darkness, she eventually sees oceans. The animals from this world congregate, trying to understand what they see in the sky. A flock of birds is sent to help her. The birds catch her and gently guide her down onto the back of Great Turtle. The water animals like otter and beaver have prepared a place for her on turtle's back. They bring mud from the bottom of the ocean and place it on turtle's back until solid earth begins to form and increase in size. Turtle's back becomes Sky Woman's home & the plants she's brought down with her from Skyworld, including tobacco and strawberries, are her medicine. She makes a life for herself and becomes the mother of Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) life, as we know it today. | image tagged in beautiful young woman falling through the sky,turtle island,mythology,native american | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

A 6-fingered giant, to be pedantic.

A 6-fingered giant, to be pedantic. | There are a series of parallel waterways on Iroquois land. They believe that a God or giant scratched the land with their fingers long ago; the trenches eventually filled with water & became lakes. | image tagged in geology,myth,native american | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
