The Seven Sacred Teachings: Truth (Debwewin)

The Turtle carries truth. Truth is symbolic of law and principle. Since the beginning of time the turtle has not changed. The turtle has been chosen to be the bearer of truth and the basic truth of the laws of nature have not changed. The turtle has been able to adapt to change without changing; thus he represents truth. He also represents time. His shell has thirteen big plates, symbolizing the thirteen moons in one year.
Truth is the teaching of living in harmony with reality and seeking the truth in all things. It emphasizes the importance of honesty, accuracy, and authenticity in our thoughts, words, and actions.
