Native American tribes and communities use the Turtle Island folklore story to explain the creation of the North American continent as we know it today. Although specific details vary by tribe, the general concept remains the same throughout.
According to Native American oral tradition, the Earth started covered entirely with water. Numerous animals unsuccessfully tried to carry dirt from the ocean floor to the surface, but the muskrat was the only creature capable of doing so. The muskrat continued to gather dirt and place it on the back of a turtle. Eventually, the ground began to multiply and grow until it became a massive expanse of land we know today as North America.
