In "The World on the Turtle's Back" by Iroquois storytellers, the story begins on sky-world, an empty void with one tree, with a husband and an expecting wife. The husband dug a hole to attain the roots of the Great Tree so his wife could eat it, so she bent down to grab the roots and fell through the hole. Magically, birds in the void saw what was happening and they broke her fall and she eventually landed on a big turtle's back. In the ocean, she gave birth to a girl who gave birth to twins, one evil and one not. The left-handed twin killed the mother during birth, and after a life of constant fighting the right-handed twin kills the left-handed twin and the grandmother creating night and day.
