Sky Woman

Sky Woman is a central figure in Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) creation stories. She is believed to have fallen from the Sky World and brought life to the Earth. As she descended, she carried seeds and plants, which she planted upon landing, initiating the creation of land, animals, and humans. Her story emphasizes themes of creation, balance, and connection between the heavens and the Earth. Sky Woman’s tale is a foundational myth that explains how the world was formed and highlights the importance of harmony and respect for nature in Haudenosaunee culture.
