Notes from the index:
The Creation (Iroquois; Central New York State; Myth) Iroquois isn’t the name of one tribe but the collective name used for six tribes– the Cayuga, the Seneca, the Onondaga, the Oneida, the Mohawk, and the Tuscarora– that united in a loose federation to stop intertribal warfare. The turtle is sacred to the Iroquois. It represents the earth and the special relationship between the Iroquois and the land.
Art by Leo and Diane Dillon for the 1993 anthology From Sea to Shining Sea.
A photo from around 1900 of an Iroquois woman named Wah-Ta-Waso, with a swastika pendant. Her American name was Wah-Ta-Waso Tethrault Gillespie and she was a direct descendant of an Penobscot Iroquis chief and was a Princess in her own right.
Wah-ta-waso means Bright Star. In the early 1900’s she was a famous actress, one of her plays being “As Told in the Hills”.
