This question is in reference to the American Indian Folk Tale from the Seneca tribe. The woman fell through a hole in heaven which led to this world (Earth). Because there was nothing but water, the waterfowl of the earth saw the young woman falling, and they joined their bodies together so she could fall on their bodies, and not drown. After they began to tire, the great Turtle held her for a while. After he got tired, they asked the toad to dive to the bottom of the ocean floor, and bring soil up to place on the great Turtle's back. This soil eventually grew bigger, and became the earth where the woman lived.
