The Meaning of a Native American Story

 Stories have often been humanity's way of explaining the world around them, in this story it is explained how life on Earth came to be as well as how a turtle's shell came to have a part of Earth on itself. I feel if I were a native person this tale would have satisfied my questions if I was younger but once I grew older I would have many more questions, like for example, "What happened to the rest of the people? Did they fall down the hole as well?". I would be unsatisfied and look for more answers.
