Enigorio and Enigohatgea

Enigorio and Enigohatgea
   In the Iroquois* Creation Legend these were the twin brothers, Enigorio having been the benign creator of rivers, fertile plans, and fruitful trees, and his brother Enigohatgea endeavouring to neutralize all these activities by the creation of deserts, harmful plants, and natural catastrophes. They are the equivalent of Tsentsa and Tawiscara in the Huron Creation Legends.
