Moon is the companion of Sun and his opposite in temperament: where Sun succeeds, Moon copies and fails, and it is often through his clumsy imitation that hardship, blemish and disorder enter the world of the Northern Jê. The pair travel and quarrel through a world still taking shape, and their contrasting fortunes account for many of its features. As with Sun, sources differ on the degree to which the Kĩsêdjê develop this cosmogony compared with neighbouring Jê peoples, given the Kĩsêdjê emphasis on ceremony and song; but Moon is securely part of the demiurge tradition of the family to which they belong.
