Answer 1

Somebody: Old Teofilo, a Native American man

Wanted: To have a traditional Native American burial ceremony

But: His family members were unsure of how to fulfill his wishes as they were living in a predominantly Catholic community

So: They decided to combine their Catholic beliefs with Native American traditions and perform a unique burial ceremony that incorporated elements from both cultures

Then: The family members painted Teofilo's face with red ocher, placed him on a traditional blanket, and covered him with cornmeal. They also sprinkled holy water and recited Catholic prayers, symbolizing their faith. Finally, they sent rain clouds by burning a feather and letting the ashes rise into the sky, fulfilling Teofilo's desire for rain.
