With this text the reader becomes aware of how the indigenous nature of Diné spirituality influences every aspect of their belief system. We see this engagement with nature through several analytical lenses including sacred narratives, ceremonies and rituals, religious specialists, and power. Through sacred narrative, ceremony, and ritual in the novel, we see the connection to place and nature during the K-Tag ceremony in the poem titled “K-Tag Ceremony.” Ceremonies and rituals related to nature are also seen in the chapter entitled “Tune Up”. In “Tune Up” we also see the important role of the Medicine Men in Native American spirituality that would be classified under the analytical lens of religious specialists as well as power. Finally, we see the connection to the analytical lens of integration through nature in the poem “The Canyon was Serene.” In the poem “K-Tag”, we see the use of sacred narrative, or rather, the reference to sacred narrative in the body of the poem. Tapahonso refers to Saints or ancestors in the poem. “The Saints called our grandchildren as we presented them to the sun, our father their little arms stretched south and north…” (Tapahonso 83). It is difficult to choose just one cultural lens to analyze something in Native American spirituality because the interconnection with the earth and other earth creatures is important. Although this poem reflects the ceremony, it also reflects the importance of the place. In ceremonies it seems that direction plays an important role, especially towards the east, the direction of the rising sun. The child in the K-Tag ceremony described is facing east and should be because his arms are "extended to the south and north" (Tapahons... center of the card... the power itself is woven into the carpets and enshrined in the prayers It is difficult to choose just one lens to analyze different aspects of Diné spirituality because of the importance of integration and interconnection with the earth and all its creatures. Humans have a deep mutual respect and respect for nature .They feel responsible to care for the earth and its creatures because we all depend on each other for survival. Kinship and community are not only between humans but also with the earth, with animals and with the insects. Tapahonso beautifully illustrates all these aspects of Diné spirituality in her collection of poems and short stories through her personal experiences in everyday life as a Diné woman.
