North America is most likely not the first continent that springs to mind when you hear the word mythology, but the indigenous peoples of North America have a great many rich and beautiful mythological stories. Today, we’ll get a taste of those mythological traditions by looking at the Ojibway creation story of the Sky Woman and the Great Turtle. Our dessert course is a sampling of turtles and tricksters found in stories throughout history and from around the globe.This week's special podcast promo comes from Riddle Me ThatTo stay on top of all the latest from Pineapple Pizza Podcast, be sure to check out our website at www.pineapplepizzapodcast.com where you will find links to merch, Patreon and a variety of ways to support the show, as well as detailed episode descriptions and regional specials.
