4. a) first they washed themselves and called for the gods, then they see how the gods show up and place the feathers and corn on buckskin. Last the mirage people show up then the wind changes the objects to people. b) It seems like order plays a huge part on there lifestyle.
5. a)  The wind transforms the objects into people. b) The wind has that spark to be able to change the objects into people like gods miracles.
