In the two short passages, "Listen to the Air" by John Lame Deer and Richard Erdoes, and "Sanchez" by William Least Heat Moon, we learn about two different Native American representatives and their likes and differences on Native American values. Traditionally Native Americans have had a close relationship with their natural environments. They defined themselves by the land and sacred places, and have recognized a unity in their physical and spiritual culture. They acknowledged the power of Mother Earth and the mutual obligation between hunters and hunted as coequals. They ritually addressed and prepared the animals they killed, and the agricultural fields they tended. Most use song and ritual speech to modify their world, while physically transforming that landscape with fire and water. They did not passively adapt, but responded in diverse ways to adjust environments to meet their cultural as well as material desires. When evaluating the likes and differences of Lame Deer and Sanchez jjwe can look at there positions in society, there feelings towards the environment, as well as how they stand today.
Lame Deer was a Sioux chief and medicine man who seduces us, the reader, to sit down and listen to him talk. "Let's sit down here, all of us, on the open prairie, where we can't see a highway or a fence. Let's have no blankets to sit on, but feel the ground with our bodies, the earth, and the yielding shrubs. Let's have the grass for a mattress, experiencing its sharpness and its softness. Let us become like stones, plants, and trees. Let us be animals, think and feel like animals."(Deer and Erdoes 471) Lame Deer is inviting us to sit down and basically feel the environment or listen to the air and also listen to what he has to say. As soon as Lame Deer draws us in to listen, he compares and contrasts what is lost in our modern world from not living in harmony with our natural environment.
