The story of the Hero Twins, from birth through manhood, provides a lifelong pattern for the Din\u00e9 to follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone was involved in their raising, their training, and eventually struggles and victories: Sun bear her and other deities, changing woman in the Din\u00e9, the animals and the birds, even the earth itself.<\/p>\n

The Giants and their followers had made it impossible for the Din\u00e9 to establish a homeland, but changing woman gave birth to the twins and raise them for their special purpose.<\/p>\n

They conquer the giants and provided a safe place for the Din\u00e9 to call home. Within the protecting boundaries of the four sacred mountains, the Din\u00e9 established their homeland.<\/p>\n

There they can live and follow the teachings of their forefathers. Many of their ceremonies, chants, prayers, songs, and celebrations of the Din\u00e9 are reenactments of the events of the story of the he will twins.-year-old twins.<\/p>\n

When respected and followed, they will keep the Din\u00e9 in harmony and balance in their own homeland.<\/p>\n
