How does Jack Weatherford use imagery in Native Roots: How the Indians Enriched America?

Imagery:

"The continent did not speak to the newcomers because the civilizations of North American did not always speak in loud stone. They spoke in earth and wood, in fiber and textile, in bead and shell."

"Most of them have straight black hair, dark eyes, copper-colored skin, and beardless faces. They come from Mexico, speaking Spanish and bearing Christian names, but they are the survivors of the ancient Indians."
