Earth Diver
"Earth Diver" is a creation myth found in various cultures, particularly among Indigenous peoples of North America. In this narrative, a divine being or animal dives into the primordial waters to retrieve soil or earth, which is then used to create land. This act symbolizes the emergence of life and the formation of the world.
The concept of the Earth Diver is often associated with other creation myths, such as those involving Turtle Island in Iroquois mythology. These stories highlight the interconnectedness of nature and the importance of water, land, and animals in the creation process.
