– Woman Walks Ahead (2017) ⋅ Sitting Bull –

Page two of two ⋅ Turtle Island is a name for Earth or North America, used by some Indi-genous peoples. In the stories, the World Turtle carries the Earth upon its back. Many North American Indigenous groups, mostly in the northern and eastern areas of the continent, have in common a type of creation story called the Earth-Diver Myth, a type of cosmogony, in which a supreme being usually sends an animal into the primal waters to find bits of sand or mud with which to build habitable land.

Sitting Bull by Caroline Weldon, 1890, oil on canvas, Arkansas Museum. The Sioux or Oceti Sakowin (/suː/ SOO; Dakota/Lakota) are groups of Native American tribes and First Nations people from the Great Plains of North America.
