Hidden amongst the lily pads a small painted turtle surfaces to bask in the warm summer sun. Perfectly adapted to its environment the painted turtle can be difficult to spot, all too often it is the darting movement of its escape that alerts us to its fleeting presence. Though not typically known for their agility, turtles move effortlessly in their aquatic environment (as opposed to on land) and are proficient predators.
The turtle is used as a symbol in many indigenous teachings about patience, stability, grounding, and earth connection and symbolizes a deeply-held respect for the environment. In many Cree and Anishinabe Creation stories, Turtle Island aka North America was created on the back of a giant turtle. This work was created for the 2021 Water Walk along the shores of Lake Temiskaming and is a part of the Northern Waters Series.
