Consider the interrelatedness of everything in the cosmos as it is expressed in many indigenous religions. How do you think the importance of these relationships developed? What spiritual purpose do you think they serve for indigenous peoples?
Your questions are asking what YOU think, not us. You need to look in your class notes and/or textbook and come to your own conclusions.
Please note that we don't do students' homework for them. Our tutors try to give you the information to help you complete your assignment on your own.
Once YOU have come up with a response to YOUR questions, please re-post and let us know what you think. Then someone here will be happy to critique your work.

In addition, it looks as if what you need to do is learn how to conduct thorough and effective searches for yourself. That's what research is, and I'm sure that's what your teacher expects you to do -- conduct research. You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page
< http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en > and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.

Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

... and one to help you judge whether a particular website's information is worth your time:

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to post this here, but I'd like to comment on the integrity of Writeacher and this site.
Every single time I have a question or item that I need to research for class, when I put in the keywords and do the search there is always one or two hits on some Ask/Answer site with the exact questions I am researching.
I've always been irritated by that and made a promise that if I was ever in a class with someone that posted those questions and used those answers, I'd probably make some kind of passive-agressive comment about their source.
Half of learning comes from finding the answers yourself, not from having someone else tell you the answers.
Thanks for your integrity.

Anyhow, i think those relationships developed as a way of explaining the existence of God...whether factual or just perceived. The spiritual purpose may be to 'prove or explain' why God is real and does exist. Hope that gets your thoughts worked up enough.
