According to a Blackfeet myth, the buffalo was made by the sun from mud. The Sun had made mudman from mud and then he made a creature with four legs and a head and a body. He then made the nostrils and held it up to his mouth. "Now breathe the air from me, my breath, and live with it like my children are now living with it. Eat the food of grass and foliage to fatten you and those in the same likeness, as you are that will all roam this land sometime soon. Abound this land and become the food for my children." Things blew into his nostrils and got into his feet. He got up to his feet but feel back down. This was the first flesh food given to the mudman. It supplied them with food.
