    What distinguishes the tribal imagination from the secular imagination?

    Answer:

These characteristics distinguish the tribal imagination from the secular imagination. In tribal stories, oceans fly in the sky as birds, mountains swim in the water as fish, animals speak as humans and stars grow like plants.
