the excerpt to answer the question.

At the beginning of the era of the Surem, nobody knew the name of the sun and they wanted a name for it. For this reason they held a council on the bank of the Surem River.
Everyone gave his opinion but no name was found for the sun. Every day they studied the matter. They die not know if it were man or woman and so they couldn't decide whether it would be best to give it a male or female name. The Surem could not agree. They finally invited all the animals of the world to come to a council.
What does the use of animals show about the Yaquis?

The use of animals in the council shows that the Yaquis, or the Surem in this context, value nature and believe in the wisdom of animals. They see the animals as equal participants in the decision-making process and seek their insights and perspectives. This suggests that the Yaquis have a deep connection and respect for the natural world and its inhabitants.
