“The right-handed twin accused his brother of murdering their mother, and their quarrels continued until it was time to bury the
ir mother. With the help of their grandmother, they made her a grave. From her head grew the three sister plants: corn, beans, and squash. From her heart grew tobacco, which people still use to give thanks in ceremony. She is called ‘our mother’ and the people dance and sing to her to make the plants grow.” Based on the text, what conclusions did you draw about what the culture values?
The conclusion that can be drawn is that mothers must be valued because they are the ones that make “corn, beans and squash” grow, as well as “tobacco to give thanks at the ceremony”. That is to say that from the mothers all the main thing is born to live, which are the plants, hence the general of life. People need plants to survive.
