The Native American’s Heritage

Consequently, the modern people know nothing about the indigenous heritage that shaped the modern world they celebrate.

When the narrator learns how to weave sweetgrass baskets and brings them to the university, the staff scornfully stares at her work. The irony is that even the learned people have decided not to integrate into the natural world because they want to dominate it.
The language of plants
The satire in this context is that some people believe that plants do not communicate simply because they do not speak. However, the reality remains that plants communicate with each and they also send signals to people. Therefore, people need to know that it is vital to conserve the environment to boost sustainability.
