In the myths of the Pueblo Zuni people of New Mexico, Awonawilona is known as the "Supreme life-giving power" and the creator of all[1] with a name translating to "All Container".
[4] The new combination of light, clouds, and air allowed for vegetation and made Awonawilona the "essence" of life[1] as they created the universe.
[4] Eventually Awonawilona chose to embody the sun and created the deity the Sun-father, which lead to the formation of several other gods such as Awitelin Tsita (The Four-Fold Containing Mother Earth), and Apoyan Tachu (All Covering Father-sky)[1] from green scum formed over the waters.
[2] As the myth unfolds, the deities created by Awonawilona leads to the creation of humans and all living creatures.
[2] Other versions of the myth say that Awonawilona sent the twin gods of war to bring forth people that would give him offerings and prayers.
