This Island, the World on the Turtle's Back

Focuses on the Earth-grasper myth or Woman who fell from the Sky, one of the creation stories common to the nations of the Haudenosaunee confederacy and considers the themes and motifs contained therein as a lens for studying the cultures of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca peoples.
