In Upoto mythology, Libanza is the creator. He created the sky and the gods that inhabit it, and the sun that contains the fire of life, then he made the moon, the earth and all its inhabitants. He made all people equal, but calling them together the Earth people dawdled and Libanza gave the moon people immortality and sent the Earth people death. However, the moon people begged him to change his mind and he relented sufficiently to grant Earth people immortality in his Heaven, but only after they had served a lifetime of pain and toil on earth.
