Turtle Island is a creation story which strives to elaborate how Kitchi-Manitou in conjunction
with the Four Winds utilized a small piece of earth to make an island for animals and people to
live. The story revolves around Anishinabe people, American-Indians of North America, who
(according to the story) were the first humans to exist on Earth. Kitchi-Manitou created the
Anishinabe. The Anishinabe fought against each other for various reasons including
disagreements on hunting grounds. Kitchi-Manitou was annoyed that he decided to purify the
earth with a flood (mush-ko’-be-wun’). The water killed all the Anishinabe people except
Nanaboozhoo and some animals. Nanaboozhoo acted as a coordinator and adviser for the
development
