Based on the passage you just read, what conclusion can you draw about the cultural values of the iroquois? “The right-handed twin accused his brother of murdering their mother, and their quarrels continued until it was time to bury their mother. With the help of their grandmother, they made her a grave. From her head grew the three sister plants: corn, beans, and squash. From her heart grew tobacco, which people still use to give thanks in ceremony. She is called ‘our mother’ and the people dance and sing to her to make the plants grow.”

Yes, I am sure. The purpose of allusions is primarily to provide a greater context or meaning to the text. By referencing familiar events, characters, or cultural elements, allusions help to enrich the understanding for the reader and create connections that may not be immediately obvious within the text itself.
