There is a Puerto Rican expression that goes “Soy de aqui como el coqui”, which translates to “I’m as Puerto Rican as a coqui”

more of "I am of here like the coquis."

The decline of coqui populations has accelerated since the introduction of the Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis fungus.[6] This pathogenic fungus has been extremely devastating towards amphibian populations as the pathogen impairs the permeability of the skin.

The Uo (burrowing toad) and Bufo Marinus (marine toad) are the two toads most often present in Mayan art and mythology. The many cute and photogenic tree frogs are not as conspicuous in the Classic Maya art.

When depicted he was usually drawn with a black and a yellow stripe painted across his face. He is often shown with his right foot replaced with an obsidian mirror, bone, or a snake—an allusion to the creation myth in which he loses his foot battling with the Earth Monster.

Around 1325 CE Kachina masks and Kachina dancers appear as rock art.[15] However, it remains an open question among scholars as to whether the kachina religion was an indigenous creation, or an import from Mexico. The similarity of many aspects of Hopi religion to that of the Aztecs to the south strongly suggest the latter to many scholars

Hopi's have an 'atlantis' legend, with 'flying shields'...is figure holding darts and atlatl?...
quote
from same
"As the shield lifted off, the kachinas all gave out a boisterous yell. The spectacle was incredible; every sort of kachina conceivable was present. All of a sudden as the couple flew along, flashes of lightning were visible in the air and the rumble of thunder could be heard. When the shield rose higher, drizzle began to fall. The kachinas were now accompanying them... [Her] parents had headed to the edge of the mesa at this time to look out. Looking down from the rim of the mesa, they saw an incredible number of people coming across the plain. To their great amazement all were kachinas, singing and crying out their calls in a pandemonium."
This passage is taken from a book called Earth Fire: A Hopi Legend of the Sunset Crater Eruption co-authored by Ekkehart Malotki, a white professor of languages at Northern Arizona University, and Michael Lomatuwayima, a Hopi from the Third Mesa shrine-village of Hotevilla. The Kana kachina is associated with the volcanic eruption starting in 1064 AD that created the now-extinct Sunset Crater located near the San Francisco Peaks.

In fact, the horned figure looks a bit like common representations of the Hopi long-horned kachina spirit being called Wupá’ala.

The date of the eruptions that formed the 340-meter-high cone (1,120 ft) was initially derived from tree-ring dates, suggesting the eruption began between the growing seasons of A.D. 1064–1065.[7] However, more recent geologic and archaeological evidence places the eruption around A.D. 1085.[

Kīlauea is a currently active volcano that is located on the island of Hawaiʻi and is still being extensively studied.[5] Many Hawaiians believe Kilauea to be inhabited by a "family of fire gods", one of the sisters being Pele, who is believed to govern Kilauea and is responsible for controlling its lava flows.[

Contractors on Hawaii's Big Island have begun bulldozing an emergency evacuation route through an old lava flow over fears the ongoing eruption could trap thousands of people by destroying existing roads.

As if the 2,400-acre lava field on Hawaii’s Mount Kilauea and reports of a thick blanket of “vog” wasn’t bad enough, the U.S. Geological Survey warned late Wednesday night of volcanic glass—Pele’s hair—falling from the sky.

Pele will curse with bad luck people who take lava rock, sand, seashells, or other natural parts of the islands away with them, until they return these items to their rightful place. Additionally, federal law prohibits taking anything out of a national park. Each year large quantities of such objects are mailed back to Hawaii by people who believe they have received such bad luck.[
