[Aztlan] Rigel subsitutes for the sun

[martha noyes]

On the Hawaiian legend I've been working on, Ka-onohi-o-ka-la (the eye of the sun) is banished from heaven and is replaced in the sun by Kahalaomapuana, a female - Kaha (mark, as time) la (sun) oma (adze, a symbol for solstice) puana (Rigel).

Rigel's heliacal rise is about 19 December.

Does anyone know of a similar use of Rigel in Mesoamerican lore?
