This is an original acrylic portrait of a Sacred Turtle and an Indigenous Leader.

The turtle is a symbol of fertility, health, and longevity in Indigenous cultures. The turtle, in the minds of certain natives, played a role in the formation of the Earth by transporting primordial sludge from the depths of the sea.

The turtle is sacred to Native Americans because it represents Mother Earth. The Turtle symbol represents hope for long life and healthy living. A turtle’s lifespan can vary by up to a factor of 150 between different species. The turtle has a significant role in the Eastern Woodland Native American people’s origin tales. Earth Diver, the turtle, dove to the bottom of the ocean that covered the entire earth. He rose up from the primordial soup to create the world.
