Huron - World Parent

A group of beings similar to humans lived in longhouses in the sky. They lived in harmony and in the centre of their village stood a celestial tree blossoming with the light of peace and knowledge. One day a curious woman had her husband uproot the tree. She fell through the hole down to the world below. A Canada goose saw the woman falling, took pity on her and flew down to rescue her. He placed her on the back of a turtle and the Great Turtle Island (North America) came into existence.
