At my San Diego" A" school, there was a group sitting at an outdoor, picnic table area, right outside the barracks, with Godfrey and myself. They were all Caucasian, male friends of Godfrey from "A" school. I was listening to music, with my headphones and portable CD player. To the Cranberries song, "Dreaming My Dreams," on my CD player, I overheard and saw one of them brutally smashing a wild, brown, land turtle, with bare hands suddenly.
The turtle was as large as two baseballs, and his shell was cracked in half. Considering that, I wouldn't trust Godfrey, or any of his violent friends. Also, the East Coast Native Americans view the turtle as a symbol of Great Spirit, who entrusted the entire earth on a large turtle's back, along with being associated with the feminine divine, a holy grail symbol to the Iroquois, and Lenape tribe. "Turtle Island" is the Native American name for all of North America.
