    Long before the world was created, there once lived an island, floating in the sky where the skypeople called home. a women had told her husband that she was giving birth, thus pushing her into the center hole that gave the island light. once the sky women had fallen, she gave birth to her two twins, sapling and flint. sapling created all that is good, while flint destroys all of sapling's creations and creates everything bad in the world. eventually sapling and flint decided to fight each other until either of them conquered over the other. since flint had lost he cannot die because he's flint, he had to live the rest of his life on "big turtle"'s back and occasionally you can feel his anger from the roar of volcanoes. the iroquois people have respected animals and if they hadn't the sky woman might have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and earth wouldn't have been created.

    - sorry it was such a long answer, the org. story was like 5 paragraphs long!
