This Native American myth explains the origin of the Pleiades stars or, as the Blackfoot call them, the Lost Children.  Six orphan brothers who are homeless, hungry and dressed in rags are abused by others in the community.  Their unhappiness leads them to give up being people and decide to become stars:  "Stars remain forever.  We will always be beautiful."  They are welcomed in the Above World by Moon Woman and Sun Man who, in his anger, attempts to punish the people for neglecting the children by shining on Earth with immense heat.  But the dogs, who were the only creatures that befriended the lonely boys, beg for pity because they are dying of thirst.  Sun Man answers their pleas with life-giving rain. The Pleiades are the Lost Children in the Above Worlds; and all the small stars close to them are said to be the camp dogs, finally united with their friends, the boys
