Turtle Island

Turtle Island is a name for Earth or North America, used by some American Indigenous peoples, as well as by some Indigenous rights activists. The name is based on a creation myth common to several indigenous peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands of North America.

A number of contemporary works continue to use and/or tell the Turtle Island creation story.
