The conflict arises from the contrast between the stories of conquest, which often imply progress at the expense of relationships (both human and environmental), and the stories of Gluskap, which emphasize harmony and balance. This highlights the cost of progress as depicted in conquest narratives against the values of harmony found in Gluskap stories.
