The Blackfeet believe that the Sun made the earth—that he is the creator. One of the names by which they call the Sun is Napi—Old Man. This is how they tell of the creation: To this it is difficult to make a telling reply. Mona says nothing she only turns her head completely away from him, as if to conceal something.
