Among the Indian Nations on the plains the turtle was revered as a symbol of long life, protection and fertility. The wearing of the turtle pouch was a reminder to the wearer that his or her life is a precious gift from their parents, and that they had the responsibility to marry, and pass on the gift of birth and life, so as the thrive would grow and prosper. Such vigilant protection of life was essential to the Indians sense of well being.
