How Earth Came to Be

A creation story that makes reference to themes found in many other First Nation stories about how the word came to be. First Nation communities have faced continued forms of erasure and control within Canada, so this story is aimed to shed some light (and possibly inspire some interest) in recognizing and understanding First Nation culture and communities. Themes that are often noted in creation stories include the Sky Woman, the Turtle, Sacrifice, Nature and Duality.

Although I make reference to some of these important themes, this is a story that I created myself and has no direct affiliation to the truth-telling of First Nation elders and their wisdom.
