According to American Indian mythology . . .
 from a tiny clump of dirt or mud the Earth ‘grew’ on the back of a Turtle.

 Turtle Island is a name for the North American continent as well as the
 Earth in numerous American Indian and worldwide mythologies and
 origin-stories, including Hindu, Chinese, African, Australian aborigines,
 and Caribbean Peoples.
