There were some differences between Variant X and Variant H (my group). The biggest diffence is that X goes into a lot more detail than H, and in H they dont tell you if Cortez was ever captured or killed. Similarly, X and H have some of the exact same verses.
I think the significance of the stories throughout the novel show the process of Tayo changing while creating his ceremony. The story for group H shows that he now has lost any pride he once had for his white blood. He is so angry with the white community that he wants to kill them all. This shows his transformation into a full American Indian. Now that he feels he is full American Indian, the rest of the community now accepts him and sees past the white half of him.
