Significant narratives about creation in Indigenous traditions often revolve around the emergence from a primordial state or the actions of cultural heroes. For example, in many Native American traditions, stories recount how the world was formed from the chaotic waters or the earth was created from a single being, such as Turtle Island in the Haudenosaunee culture. These narratives emphasize the connection between spirituality and nature, portraying creation not simply as an event, but as an ongoing relationship that involves humans and the natural world.
