The Turtle blanket recognizes the Iroquois Confederacy: the Oneida, Seneca, Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga and Tuscarora Nations. The Turtle design is a representation of the Iroquois Creation legend. ~Pendleton Legendary Collection Long ago, the earth was covered with deep water and there were no people. The birds saw SkyWoman fall from the sky. As she fell, she grabbed the roots of a tree from heaven. The birds spread their wings together to save her. Only Turtle was strong enough to hold her, so they placed her on his back. There she planted the roots; and as her garden grew, Turtle grew in size, finally becoming North American, known as Turtle Island. ~Pendleton Legendary Collection Dimensions:64 x 80 (inches)163 x 203 (cm)*Note: All measurements are approximate.
