The Iroquois believe that the twins are gods and it is important to show them devotion.  

This is why they perform rituals to honor the twins.

According to the Iroquoian legend, "The World on Turtle's Back," the Earth resided on the back of a great sea turtle (figuratively, a pregnant woman). The twins born by the woman represent deceit and order, which are the characteristics of every living being.

In this story, the Iroquois believe that the turtle's shell or back is the Mother Earth, representing the earth's structure.

The Iroquois highly cherished nature, revering and valuing the plants and animals that sustained their existence.

Thus, the rituals that the Iroquois perform is not just to sustain the Earth, but they honor the twins with rituals because they believe that the twins are gods that must be honored.
