The symbols in the story "The man to send rain clouds" reveal differences in culture between the catholic priest and the pueblo. For instance, the holy water. For the priest, this symbolizes a more somber reason. But for the pueblo, they used it for their tradition. They think that the dead might get thirsty. The holy water was important for both but with different reasons.
