Pls support this beautiful animation project by my friend and brilliant filmmaker Cat Ashworth:
“There are many versions of the story of Sky Woman and her grandsons Flint and Sky Holder. We based our film on the words of Chief John Arthur Gibson, who told this story to J.N.B Hewitt, in the 1890s. In 2005, the Seneca scholar John Mohawk translated the original text into a book titled The Myth of the Earth Grasper. The story begins far above earth, in Sky World. The Great Celestial Tree, which provides light and food for the beings that inhabit Sky World, begins to fade. The keeper of the tree has a dream, and in that dream the people uproot the great tree, and their world is renewed. So begins our story, the Great Tree is uprooted, and a large hole is created where the roots of the tree were. It is through this hole, that a young pregnant woman falls, and lands on the back of a turtle, and a new world is started, Turtle Island. Eventually, Sky Woman’s grandsons, Flint and Sky Holder, create everything on our earth, and the twin boys battle for control of Turtle Island.”
