The mole is a fairly blind animal, and has a very long nose, so it can feel
around and sense things.
It is comfortable beneath the earth, which gives it a lot of symbolism around
being at one with the earth and with feeling, an ability that is very important to all First Nations. For instance, I remember Sun Bear telling me that when he was young, he would practice
“feeling” with his brother, as a very precise method of perception. They would take turns holding up a log, with one hand above the head, while the other one would shoot the log with a
twenty-two rifle, blind-folded, just by feeling where the log was. Since the brother was beneath that and was holding the log it had to be precise.
Feeling is a very precise mode of perception that most people don't use to their fullest, but the mole really exemplifies this, because he hardly sees anything, yet he finds his way around very comfortably. He can find the food he needs, and borrows into the earth, where it is really comfortable and warm, and gets along really fine even if he can hardly see anything.
So, there are other ways and means of perception, and this is the main message of the mole.
