Some Native Americans believe that the turtle contributed to creation because the turtle dove into the primeval waters to retrieve mud to create Mother Earth. The shell of the turtle is not only for protection, it's a symbol of living a well-rounded life. A turtle sighting is all about grounding, balance, a slower pace, emotional understanding, and ancient wisdom. He is also a symbol of the world.
