Detailed explanation-1: -The twins, Sapling and Flint, represent the two sides of being: the straight mind, and the crooked mind. Each has to add his own creations into the mix, in order for a balanced Earth to be created. The twins symbolize balance and the duality of nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -The world the twins made was a balanced and orderly world, and this was good. The plant-eating animals created by the right-handed twin would eat up all the vegetations if the number was not kept down by the meat-eating animals which the left-handed twin created.
Detailed explanation-3: -They took clay and modeled it into animals, and they gave these animals life. And in this they contended with one another. The right-handed twin made the deer, and the left-handed twin made the mountain lion which kills the deer. But the right-handed twin knew there would always be more deer than mountain lions.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Iroquois, like most Native American peoples, emphasize the importance of living in harmony with the natural world through the creation myth “The World on a Turtle ‘s Back” which expresses the relations toward all living things.
