Legend and folklore of the Great Lakes region tell us that long ago, there was a large great turtle who floated quietly and gently upon a world made only of water--his name was Makinauk.

In this retelling of the legend about the creation of Mackinac Island, the wise and kind painted turtle Makinauk tells his friends Loon, Beaver, and Otter that now was the time to build a beautiful piece of land for all of the animals to rest upon, but that one of them must dive through the depths of the water and bring back a handful of soil to place upon his back. This, said Makinauk, would be the beginning of a brand new world.
