Alhkw'ntam (Creator)
Alhkw'ntam is the Creator of Nuxalk (Bella Coola) cosmology, the supreme being who holds the sun in a box in his long-house in Nusmata, the land above the world. With the Four Carpenters (Masmasalanicw) he shaped the earth and its first ancestors, while Raven (Qwaxw) released the light. The account is preserved on the official Nuxalk smayusta site and in Boas' Bella Coola texts.
