Answer to Question 1

Polynesian people believed certain materials were sacred to the gods, among them feathers. Feather cloaks embody ideas about social order and the continuing presence of ancestors and the protective power of the gods. Ritual help for a spirit back to the Dreaming is the subject of a Pacific aboriginal artwork constructed with earth pigments on bark, a connection to the earthly life. The Plains Indians of North America made headdresses with tail feathers of eagles, which were identified with the sky deity Thunderbird and offered protective spiritual power. The Tolei culture involves costumes of leaves, which represent nature and the natural order of things.

Answer to Question 2

A
The largest structure in Mesoamerica is the Pyramid of the Sun and is viewed as a sacred site where the gods created the universe.
