Aataentsic  
In the Wendat creation story, Aetaentsic is Mother Earth, who fell from the Sky-World to rest on a great turtle and, with the help of the animals, created the world on the turtle’s back. Aataentsic's daughter gave birth to the twins who completed the job of creating the world and human beings. Aataentsic is associated with the moon, and also with death; she causes humans to die.
