Native peoples, completely dependent on Mother Earth for everything in their lives, worshipped the Earth as a

nurturing goddess that provided for all their needs. From the soil came plants and growing things that provided clothing and food. From the rivers and seas came fish and shellfish for food, trade articles, and tools. From the air came rain, snow, and wind to grow crops and alter the seasons. The Earth was never stagnant or dull, but always provided for those in her care. Linda Williams, Earth Science Demystified
