The Turtle Clan  A’no:wara

The Turtle Clan is one of the principal clans of the Mohawks. The turtle is the symbol of the entire earth. We walk upon the turtle’s back. The people of the turtle clan are the foundation of our Nation. Because of this fact the Turtle Clan people are very consistent, determined and humbly stubborn. The Turtle Clan people are in most cases very shy. They tend to be somewhat middle of the road between the Wolf and the Bear Clan characteristics. Whenever anything occurs that is surprising or startling, the turtles immediately go back into their shells until they see things have calmed down, and so it is with the people of the Turtle Clan. The Turtle Clan people react best in calm, ordinary and very normal day to day activities. They do not appreciate surprises or sensationalism. It takes a bit of an effort to personelly know a Turtle Clan person. They will acknowledge you with proper greetings, but to really become a trusted friend takes much more effort than it would with people of the orther clans. The Turtle Clan people are somewhat moody. They will usually shy away first from anything new.
