11. Seminole Origin story
At one time, the world was covered in water. There was no land. One day, a turtle swam to the top of the water. The turtle floated on the water. But he became tired. The Breath Maker saw the tired turtle. He felt sorry for him. The Breath Maker gave the turtle a resting place on the water. The turtle rested. He took deep breaths of air. The gulps of air made his shell crack. People came out of the cracks.
That was how the earth began
