The Cherokee word for "turtle" is dagisi or ᏓᏗᏏ. There are numerous Cherokee turtle folk stories - turtles are usually represented as being slow and patient. Turtleshells are used for men's rattles and women's leg rattles in dancing, so at dances the term "dag'si" often refers to the women dancers.
