How is the theme of the relationship between humans and nature discussed in each piece? "the way to rainy mountain" and ''How the world was made"?

1. The Way to Rainy Mountain is the story of the Kiowa Tribe. The Kiowa tribe relied on hunting for sustenance. Their history says that they emerged from a log. Their existence is very spontaneous and natural. The tribe was also decimated by natural disasters. The tribe didn't last long. Thus, the human-nature relationship in this literary piece is that Humans cannot exist without nature. Nature decided the longevity of the tribe. Nature dictated who will survive to this day as with natural selection.

2. In the piece "How the World was Made" there is one central character, Maheo. Maheo is all powerful and was responsible for all creation. The human-nature relationship in this story is that of a creator and his creation. Here, Maheo created nature and decided their fate.
