The story about the two-men-who-changed-things takes place in the Western side of Washington, also known as the coastal region. Geography affected the story because in the story, it says that the Indians in the Northwestern corner of Washington state shared stories about the two-men-who-changed-things, as did their brothers and sisters across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, on Vancouver Island. Geography also affects the story because it talks about minks, wild cherry trees, alder trees, yew trees, arrow-wood, seals, kingfishers, blue herons, crows, ravens, spruce trees, crabapples trees, and more.These are all located at one point in Washington's history on the Coastal side of Washington state. The coastal tribes used spruce wood for fires, yew wood for bows, arrow-wood for arrows, cedar wood for canoes and clothing and medicine, and wild cherry trees for medicine. All of these things were very useful in aiding the survival of the coastal tribes. Geography affected the whole story, because the children of the moon and sun created the animals, birds, and vegetation that exists in Washington to this day.
