| Summary | After a great flood, Wolverine would rebuild the world if only he could get a handful of earth. Can little Muskrat succeed in reaching the bottom of the water to find the dirt when others have failed? The story of how the world came to be on Turtle's back can be found in Indigenous cultures throughout North America/Turtle Island. It has many variations and many tellers. This moving version of the tale--a story of resilience, sacrifice, and friendship--is one that Annie Picard was often told as a child by her maternal grandmother while they lived in nutshimit (on the land) in the Labrador/Quebec peninsula. |
