Use the excerpt to answer the question.

At the beginning of the era of the Surem, nobody knew the name of the sun and they wanted a name for it. For this reason they held a council on the bank of the Surem River. Everyone gave his opinion but no name was found for the sun. Every day they studied the matter. They did not know if it were man or woman and so they couldn't decide whether it would be best to give it a male or female name. The Surem could not agree. They finally invited all the animals of the world to come to a council.

dropping them into her folded robe. When all was gathered she started to go, when she heard a faint voice, like a child's, weeping and calling:

"Oh, do not leave me! Do not go away without me."

The woman was astonished. "What child can that be?" she asked herself. "What babe can be lost in the cornfield?"

She set down her robe in which she had tied up her corn, and went back to search; but she found nothing.

As she started away she heard the voice again:

"Oh, do not leave me. Do not go away without me."

She searched for a long time. At last in one corner of the field, hidden under the leaves of the stalks, she found one little ear of corn. This it was that had been crying, and this is why all Indian women have since garnered their corn crop very carefully, so that the succulent food product should not even to the last small nubbin be neglected or wasted, and thus displease the Great Mystery.

Why was it important that the woman in the story find the corn?

Valeria's heritage language is Spanish, an heritage language.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The type of heritage language that Valeria speaks is Spanish, which is her parents' native language and is passed down to her as part of her cultural heritage.
Answered by GPT 3.5
No, Spanish is not typically considered an immigrant heritage language. Immigration heritage languages refer to languages that are brought to a new country by immigrant populations and maintained by subsequent generations. Spanish is widely spoken in many countries, including Spain, Mexico, and various countries in Central and South America, and is often passed down through generations in families with Spanish-speaking backgrounds. In the context of Valeria's situation, Spanish is her heritage language because it is the language spoken by her parents and is an important part of her cultural heritage.
