Animal Guides
The use of nature, and animals in particular, as a mirror had a purpose in spirituality. It was used both as metaphor and as a sort of naturalistic psychology. You are alive in an animal world, find your brothers and sisters, they can maybe teach you something.
“In the beginning of all things, wisdom and knowledge were with the animals; for Tirawa, the One Above, did not speak directly to man. He sent certain animals to tell men that he showed himself through the beasts, and that from them, and from the stars, and the sun, and the moon, man should learn. Tirawa spoke to man through his works.” Chief Letakots-Lesa, Pawnee Tribe
“When the Earth is sick, the animals will begin to disappear, when that happens the Warriors of the Rainbow will come to save them.” Chief Seattle
