The saviors of Hon-ga A-hui-ton are commonly called the “Hero Twins.” These holy “Star” men, the progeny of Sun and Evening Star, represent the two great divisions: the sky and the earth. Two leaders were chosen to help govern the people: one from the Tsi-Zhu “gentle sky” clan of the sky division and one from the “gentle Ponca” clan of the earth division.
