Step-by-step explanation:
The animal + human relationship in the world of the turtle occurs on land.
While turtles themselves can be both aquatic and terrestrial animals, the origin story specifically refers to the world on the turtle's back, which would be on land, where an environment suitable for the coexistence of animals and humans is established.
Most turtles spend large amounts of their lives on dry land and can breathe air. They cannot breathe in water but can hold their breath for long periods and must surface at regular intervals to refill their lungs.
In the Eastern Woodlands origin story, the turtle's shell supports life and is the foundation of the world, emphasizing the importance of turtles as symbols of life.
