A still from the film The Theft from the Sun
Coming to YouTube soon

Old Man stays in the Sun's lodge and covets the Sun's hunting leggings, which set the brush alight and drive out the deer. He steals them twice and runs all night, only to wake each morning in the Sun's lodge, because the whole world is the Sun's lodge. The Sun gives him the leggings, and Old Man learns what they cost.
