Debwewin / Truth
The teaching of Debwewin (Truth) is represented by Maginauk (Turtle), as Maginauk was the one to carry Mother Earth on their back — this is why this land is known as Turtle Island. Within the teaching of Truth, Maginauk has a slow pace, which helps Turtle to understand their journey and to fulfil their destination. Truth means to know all and understand all, without judgement and harm. Following the teaching of Truth allows us to live in peace and harmony — not only within ourselves, but with others as well.
