Sea Turtle
The Sea Turtle is a very old wise creature who has lived on earth even before the dinosaurs, probably contributing to so many indigenous peoples legends. Iroquois people believe the Turtle as a symbol of the continent of North America, called Turtle Island. Some Polynesian stories tell of "Great Mother Turtle" finding a place to rest in the middle of the ocean, her back becoming the islands and the sandy beaches. There are 7 species of Sea Turtles, all endangered due to things like pollution, and development and destruction of their nesting beaches. Look inside carefully, and you will find the shy Octopus, Dragonfly, and Whales. Look deeper and you will find sleeping Pele~ the Hawaiian Goddess of fire. Don’t forget to find the Ladybug, she will bring to you prosperity and happiness!
