"Turtle Island" is a term used by several Indigenous peoples of North America to refer to the continent. The name originates from various Indigenous oral histories and creation stories in which the continent was formed on the back of a turtle. The most well-known of these stories comes from the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Confederacy, but similar stories are found in the lore of other Indigenous tribes.
In these stories, the Earth is often covered by water, and various animals try to dive to the bottom to bring up mud to create land. The turtle offers its back as a place for the land to be deposited, and over time, the land grows and becomes the continent.
Using the term "Turtle Island" is a way of acknowledging the Indigenous histories and cultures that existed long before European colonization. It's a reminder of the deep connection that Indigenous peoples have to the land and their role as its original stewards.
