What is the significance of the conversation about the creator and god between Naomi and Saul aunt? What does Saul aunt believe, and what does Naomi say about the gift they receive and to whom they should be grateful? Find the specific quote and provide is evidence?
Saul's aunt was a product of the white school system which hammered the Catholic faith into the children. Saul's aunt felt giving thanks to the creator should be done in a Catholic way, "We should pray with the rosary and give thanks the proper way." The significance is the clash between ancient indigenous practices with that of the white man that sought to assimilate aboriginal culture into white culture.
I think this conversation highlights how important it is to respect different beliefs and cultural traditions. Saul’s connection to Indigenous spirituality helps show how identity and faith can shape a person’s understanding of the world.
