Evia is the mother of the sun and the moon in the Ngäbe oral tradition of Potrero de Caña, in the Müna district of the Comarca Ngäbe-Buglé, recorded on cassette by the Ngäbe agronomist Roger Séptimo in 1983 and 1984 and published bilingually with the anthropologist Luz Graciela Joly Adames in 1986. She lives alone with two small sons whose father is unknown; a celebrated singer, she is frequently away at festivities while the boys lie dirty in the ashes around her hearth, until they leave her and return transformed into men of extraordinary build, dressed impeccably in gold and in silver, the sun and the moon of the tale's title. She occupies the narrative place held by the water-maiden Rutbe in the Guaymí creation story written down in the nineteenth century, though the published sources do not identify the two women with one another.
