Some First Nations traditional beliefs include a creation story where turtle was there in the beginning, carrying the knowledge and teachings of all ancestors on its back. Robert Michael Weahkee's
Turtle's carapace and skin is beautifully detailed. We love his creative use of the natural burr feature of the antler for the shell. Determined eyes are from turquoise inlays, while a little offering necklace is made with lapis lazuli and refreshing aquamarine beads. We can enhance a turtle's or tortoise's natural habitat by leaving leaf litter in place and avoiding pesticides. About 3 7/8" long, 2 1/8" wide and 1 3/4" tall.
