The Lenape viewed nature as being a part of them. According to them, the natural sky objects (sun, moon, stars) and the four seasons were related to each other as family members. The reasons for a change of seasons were therefore as a result of a fight between the members i.e. the grandparents. The stars in the sky were considered as grandfather while the moon and the son were referred to as brothers and it was their responsibility to provide to the universe. The earth is general was termed as the mother whose responsibility was to take care of the people.
