The Turtle Story, a Native American Account of Earthquakes 

Clearly understood plate tectonics long long ago. We need to listen and incorporate these stories. What a wonderful story.

Never ignore ancient local legends involving natural disasters. When the Indonesian quake/tsunami hit, one old isolated tribe survived (no one died despite the village being destroyed). In their culture they believe the earth rests on a giant tree. Sometimes demons come and shake the tree, causing earthquakes. If they shake very hard, the land and sea gods can fight over territory due to the disturbance. The best thing to do after a strong quake, and see the waves retreat, was to run to the highest parts of the land. Then wait about 24hours till the land and sea gods come to a peace agreement after the battle. The land and sea boundaries will be changed........ AMAZING HOW ANCIENT STORIES LIKE THIS MIRROR ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC EVENTS SOMETIMES! Especially the advice so many need to know.

Ms.Jacque came to my son's school and they did a few different native activities including basket weaving it was great and also fun

Thank you so much for your video. I am of Native American descent, and it was very special watching this with my children.

Wow! I just love this! I have always appreciated her storytelling! She is so animated and full up spirit. She really has a gift to draw you into the story and you focus on nothing else. Everything just comes alive!

Geologists are now examining old Native American legends to get a better understanding of areas geological histories. The Pacific Northwest tribes legends of the Great Killer Whale and the Thunderbird battles coincide well with tsunami/ massive earthquake events! Heck older legends, specifically near Oregon, tell of when a brave warrior defeated an ever erupting volcano........surrounding the Oregon Crater Lake. The legend is found to describe the before, during, and after effects of the volcano's eruption, even describing the collapse. Never discredit local ancient legends. There is a grain of truth to most of them!

Beautiful, I love it. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing story.

In 1500, the Spanish writer Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo wrote a book about a Muslim queen warrior known as Califia. Its name derives from the Arabic word "Khalifah", leader of meaning, which was pronounced "Califa" in Spanish. Montalvo has named the land of it "California", which means "Land of Califia". When the Spaniards explored the coast of Baja California,

While this blog refers to the specific place name of Misión Vieja or Old Mission as the first European site established in Los Angeles County, there was thousands of years of habitation in the area by the native indigenous peoples. While these first settlers are often called Gabrieleño (or Gabrieliño), because of their "association" with the Mission San Gabriel, which started at Misión Vieja in 1771 but relocated to the current site within a few years because of flooding from the San Gabriel River, a more recent appellation has been Tongva. This latter term, however, has no real historical basis, whereas the name Kizh does have a legitimacy in the record and will be used here. For example, in William McCawley's 1996 book, The First Angelinos, he cites the statement of Raimundo Yorba, who was a consultant to the archaeologist John P. Harrington stated to him that the natives living in the Old Mission area were "what they called a Kichireño, one of a bunch of people that lived at that place just this side of San Gabriel which is known as the Misión Vieja. Kichireño is not a placename, but a tribename, the name of a kind of people." While the Kizh/Gabrieleño, like most so-called pre-literate peoples throughout the world, did not have a written language, they, naturally, had an oral one. This, in turn, meant that there was a vast oral record passed down through the generations among the Kizh/Gabrieleño, having to do with their religious beliefs, history, cultural and social practices, and much else. The fact that these attributes were not written down do not, in any way, make them subordinate to the written word-it is simply a different way of recording. www.gabrielenoindians.org
