Question

In the article "The Way to Rainy Mountain Themes: Nature, Landscape and Animals," Sylvie McNamara states,

"The stories that Momaday narrates include many instances of a blurred line between human and animal. In one story, a man turns into a water beast, and in another a boy becomes a bear. Spiders can be grandmothers and redbirds can be husbands and fathers to humans. Animals’ actions in Kiowa stories are often just as conscious as the actions of people—therefore, animals have as big a role in shaping Kiowa history and culture as humans do."

What does this analysis reveal about the Kiowa's concept of natural things?
Question 20 options:

Nature was a simple force that kept the Kiowa alive or killed them.

The Kiowa had a deep respect for the non-human world and believed humans to be deeply connected with the natural world around them.

The Kiowa saw nature as something that hindered them from accomplishing their goals and something they needed to tame.

The Kiowa did not really care about the natural world, their focus was on their own survival.
