Zunipu Moon Legend
The following four pictures tell an interpretation of a legend of the Moon from the Zunipu tribe of New Mexico and Arizona. Click on the images to see larger versions.
 |
1 Long ago, when it was always dark, and always summer, Coyote and Eagle were hunting and they came across a tribe that had the Sun and the Moon in a box. |
 |
2 After the people of the tribe had gone to sleep, the two animals stole the box. At first Eagle carried the box. |
 |
3 Soon Coyote convinced Eagle to let him carry it. Coyote, being curious, opened the box and the Sun and the Moon escaped and flew up into the sky. |
 |
4 This gave light to the land, but it also took away heat, which is why we now have winter. |
