wardancer · 02-23-2018, 10:16 AM

O.K. guys , here's some pics I took when I was there ! These were taken along the eastern shore ! No beach on the east side !

Broken Arrow · 02-23-2018, 11:00 AM

I have not been there. But I believe that it is very nice. You say it.

Reading your answer to the question I see a true answer about islands named turtle island and at the the time a joke, pulling a leg or a teasing on the question to which I better byte my on my tongue and don't speak.

Turtle_Island

Hm, yet you have brought me to say at least something and I let you do it.

NDN humor. You just gotta know. If we didn't like you, we wouldn't mess with you.

So many tribes have their beliefs of turtles and turtle island. There is not one generic cover story.

Why do you ask of Turtle Island'?

Sky woman noticed that water was everywhere. Now, I am going to get into trouble for getting into religion. The animals kept diving down to get some mud. Tribes vary on which animal made it to the bottom and got some mud. It was put on the back of a biiiiiig turtle and became dry land so the people would have somewhere to live. All of american south and north continents are on the turtle’s back

This is not religion , it's just a story ! If you are going to tell a story though , know which tribes tell it ! This is NOT the Cheyenne story.

I got a Cheyenne Turtle story for ya. I had a cousin and his nickname was Turtle. Why, you might ask? Grandfather always told him that turtles could bite a human finger off. One day, my cousin, his brother and I were fishing, and this cousin caught a turtle. After he got it off his hook, he just had to go and stick his finger in the turtle's mouth. He got half of his index finger bit off. From that day forward, he was called Turtle.

(True story though, filed under dumb stuff kids do.)
