Tipi

The human body dies 

Every moment withers 

This is why 

A story is told 

Of the old Native Indian way 

Sky women and big turtle 

Across the plains of America

Where the sky is the mother 

And the land the turtle 

At night, 

Looking into the stars 

Our ancestors shining truth 

Upon our tipi

Hohahe - welcome 

-~~~~~~~~|||

Based on wiki 

the story of Sky Woman and the Big Turtle, the land is created after Big Toad scoops up mud from the bottom of the sea---in an effort to save Sky Woman after she falls from the sky---and spreads it on the back of Big Turtle.
