According to Navajo mythology, the Black God is the creator of the stars and the fire that burns in the universe. Although some accounts claim that he didn't create the constellations, all agree that he did create fire and the light found in the stars.

According to a story, the Holy People saw the Hard Flint Boys also known as the Pleiades attached to the ankle of the Black God when he entered the Hogan. When they asked him why the constellation was there, he started to stomp his feet, and the stars moved up towards his head. He was then allowed to place all of the constellations in the sky.

While he was completing this task, Coyote or M'ii came along and threw a few stars into the sky. These random non-clustered stars, which are different from constellations, are the reason why there are so many random stars in the night sky.

The Black God is typically depicted as an old, slow, and helpless creature who is incapable of heroic acts. He is also often portrayed as a trickster who passes himself off as poor in order to receive monetary assistance from the people. The Black God is commonly depicted with various objects such as the crescent moon on his forehead, the Pleiades on his temple, and a full moon for his mouth. He also wears a buckskin mask made out of white paint.
