It is said that Geezhigo-Quae came from the Sky People, powerful beings that lived high up in the sky above the clouds. The story is that she grew heavy with child and came down to the earth to deliver, but found there was no safe purchase because the World was covered in water. Whether she came down of her own accord, fell, or was instructed by Kitchi-Manitou is a matter of contention, and Geezhigo-Quae makes no attempt to correct the story whenever she hears it told.
Once she was upon the World, a great turtle allowed her to rest upon its back while she entreated the animals to find her earth from deep below the water. The animals responded, trying one after another, until the muskrat was able to bring forth a paw full of earth.
Sky Woman caused this soil to grow and expand until it had covered the entirety of the great turtle, forming Turtle Island. Once made, plants and trees immediately took root and grew, providing her with a sustainable place to deliver her child. This was the home of the people. She laid the groundwork, in the most literal sense, for the rest of the peoples to come.
Geezhigo-Quae continues to watch over the people. She cares deeply about humans in general and will advise any who seek her out. She is very quick to adopt other Scions, seeing them all as her grandchildren. Scions in her care can be seen displaying Callings and Purviews that come from other Manitou. Some wield powers that come from a range of Titans and Primordial beings from the fringes that are simply accepted by the Manitou as Manitou as long as they don’t cause too much trouble.
Geezhigo- Quae’s own Scions find that they are driven to gather people together and act as caretakers. Some have adamantly argued that she has no Scions beyond those that she’s Chosen, in that she doesn’t birth new Scions. She typically only has one Scion at a time, usually a woman. Sometimes she is gifted with power; sometimes she is mostly human. Unfortunately, these Scions often die after they have children of their own. Those of her Scions who survive speculate that she gives birth to her own Incarnation, some aspect of herself trapped in a cosmic cycle.
