They prepare the body by creating a special ceremony.
In "The Man to Send Rain Clouds," Leon and Ken prepare Teofilo's body for burial by washing it, dressing it in his best clothes, and painting his face with the traditional ceremonial paint. They also place a feather in his hand as an offering for his journey to the afterlife.

~(====================3
Leon and Ken prepare Teofilo's body for burial with a special ceremony because they want to honor his memory and pay their respects. The ceremony allows them to express their grief and show their love for Teofilo in a meaningful way. It provides closure for them as they say their final goodbye to their dear friend.
The internal conflict for Leon and Ken in "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" revolves around their differing beliefs and values regarding traditional Pueblo rituals. Leon wants to honor their grandfather's spirit by performing the ritual, while Ken feels conflicted about participating due to his Catholic beliefs. This conflict highlights the tension between preserving cultural traditions and adapting to new beliefs.
leon vs the father
Father Paul is initially surprised and perhaps uncomfortable with Leon and Ken's decision to take matters into their own hands regarding Teofilo's burial. He listens to their explanation with openness but expresses concern about not following the traditional Catholic funeral rituals.
Juan Ponce de Leon was buried in Puerto Rico, in the crypt of San José Church from 1559 to 1836, when his remains were exhumed and later transferred to the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista.
In the short story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" by Leslie Marmon Silko, the priest warmly welcomes Leon when he visits. (Ken never comes in. He just drops Leon off at the priest's door.) The priest becomes much cooler when he learns what Leon wants him to do, but he agrees in the end.
