  • 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 with a name translating to "All Container". The deity's gender is not specified in myth and referred to as either he or she. In the beginning, Awonawilona created and became all configurations of water in the world; as a result fog, clouds, large bodies of water, and air were formed. In other versions, fog and steam were already existent before Awonawilona. The new combination of light, clouds, and air allowed for vegetation and made Awonawilona the "essence" of life as s/he created the universe. The universe was made up of 9 layers: the first layer was the earth and the other 8 were homes for various animals, birds, and trees. 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) from green scum formed over the waters. As the myth unfolds, the deities created by Awonawilona leads to the creation of humans and all living creatures. Like all mythologies, there are many different versions of the Zuni creation story. In one version, the creature Poshaiyankya escapes from the four-fold womb of Awitelin Tsita and convinces the Sun father, Awonawilona, to send the Ahayuta, the twin gods of war, to bring the rest of womb dwellers into the light. 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. (en)
  • Awonawilona o A'wonawil'ona, en la mitología del pueblo zuñi, de Nuevo México, es la deidad creadora del mundo. Carecía de sexo definido, y se refería a la deidad ya con uno u otro sexo,​ por lo que se ha llegado a considerar como un ser andrógino.​​​ En algunas narraciones, Awonawilona coexistía con el padre sol y la madre luna, así como con la pareja primordial Shiwanni y Shiwanokia. Awonawilona creó primero las nubes y luego el océano, luego Shiwanni crearía las estrellas y constelaciones con saliva, mientras Shiwanokia creó a la Madre Tierra con la suya.​​ Según otra versión, Awonawilona era lo único existente en medio de la oscuridad y el vacío, contenía y era todo.​ Desde sí misma, creó las nubes y la niebla, la cual al elevarse dio origen a todo. Cuando Awonawilona asumió forma se convirtió en el sol. También creó el océano, que estaba cubierto por verdes algas que, a partir del calor de Awonawilona, generaron espuma (o se endurecieron) de la que nació la tierra firme, a la que luego dividió en cuatro rumbos;​ de esta manera hizo a la Madre Tierra y al Padre Cielo.​ Del cielo y la tierra, proceden todas las criaturas vivas nacidas en cuatro profundas cavernas en el interior de la tierra. El primer hombre, Poshaiyankya, fue también el primer ser vivo en salir de las cavernas y dirigió a las restantes criaturas hacia la luz. ​ (es)
  • Awonawilona, nella mitologia del popolo Zuñi del Nuovo Messico, è una divinità, conosciuta come "il supremo potere di dare la vita", creatore di tutte le cose; letteralmente si può tradurre come "colui che contiene tutto". Il sesso della divinità non è specificato nel mito, perciò ci si riferisce ad essa sia con "lui" che con "lei". Inizialmente Awonawilona creò e divenne tutta l'acqua del mondo: da ciò nebbia, nuvole, larghi specchi d'acqua e aria si formarono. In altre versioni del mito la nebbia e il vapore esistevano già prima di Awonawilona. L'universo era formato da nove strati: il primo strato era la terra e gli altri otto fungevano da dimora per svariati animali, uccelli, e alberi. In seguito Awonawilona creò il sole, ed egli stesso divenne il Padre Sole, poi fecondò il mare primordiale. Tale processo vide la formazione di una schiuma verde sopra lo stesso, la quale poi si indurì e si divise, dando origine a Awitelin Tsta (o Tsita), la Madre Terra, e Apoyan Tachi (o Tachu), il Padre Cielo, entrambi generatori di tutta la vita sulla Terra.In seguito queste divinità portarono alla creazione degli esseri umani e di tutte le creature viventi.

  • Awonawilona var i Zuniindianernas kosmogoni de ursprungliga andar som skapade världen utifrån sitt eget väsen. Awonawilona startade en stegvis process när de först skapade den kvinnliga jorden och den manliga himlen, som i sin tur parade sig för att till slut ge upphov till de första människorna. (sv)
