Skywoman : Legends of the Iroquois

When Skywoman falls from the upper world, the birds and animals living in the watery place below must catch her and create ground on which she can stand.

Thus Turtle Island, the earth, is born. In this beautifully illustrated book, two Native American writers tell the ancient stories of the Iroquois Peoples.

Skywoman is storytelling at its best. It will be enjoyed by young and old, by everyone who treasures the wisdom and traditions of the first Americans.
