The answer is: there is an eternal battle between good and evil.
In the Iroquois myth "The World on Turtle's Back," the right -handed twin accuses the left-handed twin of killing their mother, thus representing good and evil. However, the right-handed twin eventually becomes angry and resentful of the left-handed twin. As a consequence, the Iroquois believe that human nature possesses two different sides.
