"Interior and Exterior Landscapes"

     "Interior and Exterior Landscapes" reminded me of two different types of teamwork, one between the Pueblos themselves and the other between the Pueblos and the Earth. As we read the Pueblos were very into oral traditions and it was even a requirement that they had to know and learn them as they grew up. One particular past that stood to to me was the story-telling process. The Pueblos would tell the stories and anyone who noticed a detail omitted or spoken incorrectly, they were encouraged to speak up. The Pueblos worked as a team to keep the stories alive. But the team work did not stop amongst them selves. I also noticed how they worked together with the Earth, unlike us. Like when they recognized that the arroyo demanded respect or how they return all of the extra parts of the antelope after hunting it so that the spirits do not get mad. They were good to the Earth so the Earth was good to them. In the age we live in today, we do not respect the Earth like we should. We work against it instead of with it. Nowadays some hunters even stuff their kill and hang it as a trophy. We should take lessons from the Pueblo people and treat our Earth as one of us instead of an inanimate object that we live in because it is in fact alive, but it won't be for much longer if we don't take care of it and if there is life on Earth, there is no us.
