<p className="text-foreground/80 leading-relaxed">
Many Indigenous North American nations recognize the turtle as a timekeeper. The turtle's back has 13
large segments, representing the 13 moons of the year. The 28 smaller scales around the edge represent
the 28 days in each lunar month.
</p>
<p className="text-foreground/80 leading-relaxed">
This isn't coincidence—it's nature's calendar, carried on the back of one of Earth's oldest creatures.
The turtle reminds us that we are part of natural time, not separate from it.

<p className="text-accent font-semibold">
"Turtle Island" (North America) itself is named for this sacred relationship between land, time, and
life.
