The month of May focused on the 7 Teaching of Truth. Truth is about knowing

what is right and wrong.

It is about respecting yourself and others enough not to lie to them but to tell

them the truth. It means

taking responsibility for what we say and do.

The turtle is one of the oldest animals on the planet and has had a long history. It

has seen many changes to

the planet and makes the connection between what the earth and water looked

like then and what they look

like now. The turtle represents truth because it lives and walks close to the earth

and sees the truth of how the

land is being treated. Because it also lives in the water, it also sees how the water

is being treated.
