      They should be good servants andintelligent, for I observed that they quickly took in what wassaid to them, and I believe that they would easily be madeChristians1 as it appeared to me thatt h e yhad noreligion.

      This section was a description of the natives that lived there. It seems like this guy came off patronizing in some way, as if they needed saving from their "primitive" way of living.

      Discussion: Servants = Taxpayers to the king. Christians = People who are civilized compared to their "primitive ways"

      it was expected thatthey would be useful in their land, owing to the good companythey had enjoyed and the gifts they had received

      It seems like they expected the natives to just acclimate to the new customs traditions just because they were giving gifts to the natives.

      threatening their utter ruin,then the Lords of the Confederacy must submit the matter to the decision of their people and the decisionof the people shall affect the decision of the Confederate Council. This decision shall be a confirmation ofthe voice of the people

      When it is sought to destroy those who are part of the Five Nations, they would seek opinions of the common people. Whatever the commonfolk say about the matter, the counsel would consider such opinions in their final decision.

      Likewise such persons who submit to laws of foreign nations shallforfeit all birthrights and claims on the Five Nations Confederacy and territory

      So, in the case where a Lord sees and becomes a part of one of the European settlements

      Peace among the people of an outside nation and that nation refuses to accept the Great Peace, then bysuch refusal they bring a declaration of war upon themselves from the Five Nations.

      In the case a foreign country decides to reject their Great Law of Peace would be considered as a declaration of war(?)

      When a member of an alien nation comes to the territory of the Five Nations and seeks refuge andpermanent residenc

      They have a line talking about those seeking asylum within their Five Nations.

    5. alexandria_medina 29 Aug 2025
      When any alien nation or individual is admitted into the Five Nations the admission shall beunderstood only to be a temporary one

      Any foreigner who pledged to be a part of the Five Nations will only be temporary. In the case any codes have been violated, they will be removed of their alliance with the Five Nations.

      he soil of the earth from one end of the land to the other is the property of the people who inhabit it.By birthright the Ongwehonweh (Original beings) are the owners of the soil which they own and occupyand none other may hold it.

      This is a statement regarding ownership of the lands they inhabit.

      Should any member of the Five Nations, a family or person belonging to a foreign nation submit aproposal for adoption into a clan of one of the Five Nations, he or they shall furnish a string of shells, aspan in length, as a pledge to the clan into which he or they wish to be adopte

      Another case in which a european settler wishes to be a part of the Five Nations. They must wear a string of shells as a pledge to the Nations.

      Whilethey are eating they are to use no sharp utensils for if they should they might accidentally cut one anotherand bloodshed would follow

      What an odd line, that they wouldn't allow Lords to eat with any sort of sharp utensils in the case one of the lords accidentally stabs another where a fight erupts from that.

    11. alexandria_medina 29 Aug 2025
      Every five years the Five Nations Confederate Lords and the people shall assemble together and shall askone another if their minds are still in the same spirit of unity for the Great Binding Law

      Like good relationships, the nations come together after five years to see if everything is working as it should be under the established terms in the Great Law of Peace.

    13. alexandria_medina 28 Aug 2025
      f a Lord dies and there is no candidate qualified for the office in the family of the women title holders,the Lords of the Nation shall give the title into the hands of a sister family

      Seems like the only kind of candidate they're looking for would only be male candidates. If there are no male candidates ready to take on Confederate Lord position, they would look for another candidate with another family closely related to them. Gender Roles is in play here?

    15. alexandria_medina 28 Aug 2025
      If a Lord of the Confederacy should seek to establish any authority independent of the jurisdiction ofthe Confederacy of the Great Peace

      This is a provision in case someone wants to act on their own volition without approval or prior consultation with other Confederate Lords. If someone decides to "go rogue," so to speak.

    16. alexandria_medina 28 Aug 2025
      they shall be proof against anger, offensiveactions and criticism. Their hearts shall be full of peace and good will and their minds filled with a yearningfor the welfare of the people of the Confederacy.

      These are expected qualities for those who are Lords of the Confederacy

    17. alexandria_medina 28 Aug 2025
      Any of the people of the Five Nations may use shells (or wampum) as the record of a pledge, contract or anagreement entered into and the same shall be binding as soon as shell strings shall have been exchanged byboth parties

      Wampum belts of any size are considered as legal documents

      Certain physical defects in a Confederate Lord make him ineligible to sit in the Confederate Council.

      Seems like there was some form of accommodation in the case a Confederate Lord was disabled.

    20. alexandria_medina 28 Aug 2025
      If at any time it shall be manifest that a Confederate Lord has not in mind the welfare of the people ordisobeys the rules of this Great Law

      There is a system made to get rid of officials who are corrupt.

    22. alexandria_medina 28 Aug 2025
      they shall bewelcomed tot ake shelter beneath the Tree of the Long Leaves

      They're open to welcome more groups of people within the Tree of Peace, therefore, making the figurative tree grow.

      We arrive at an aporia, a dead-end, where it is hard to judge Father Flynn’s guilt orinnocence. In the factual world the verdict would go in dubio pro reo. In the fictional world,we have an open-ended story

      This would be good. Talk about how the play encourages us to put ourselves in this situation in our world today.

      heplaygroundismost popularwiththechildrenwhodon’tplayatjacks,orskip rope,orrollerskate,orswing, and they canbefoundinitafterdark.

      Perhaps the narrator is referring to the kids that get sucked into the life and addiction of drugs?

      eboth were seekingthroughourseparatecabwindowswasthatpartofourselveswhichhadbeenleftbehind.

      Could it be that they were looking into their past selves? Did it mean that they left the worst part of themselves back in their old neighborhoods? In the ghetto

      “He don’t want todie. He wants to live. Don’t nobody want to die, ever.”

      This got me thinking about a quote on page 2. This makes me think about the two darknesses the narrator was comparing. There's two types of living: The one where you're embracing life and enduring the challenges it comes with, then there's the other way of living where you only want to live under the life of drugs which is not exactly the best way to live for some people.

      drinking, smoking cigarettes

      Drinking and Smoking is a common thing among these two characters despite their age. Could it be that they're just giving off the image that they're forced to become more mature than their age because of their circumstances?

      Roll up that tent every mornin case Forest Service snoopsaround.

      Seems like this is a job that isn't actually meant to be a job for them. Perhaps its because they're underage? Or maybe it's because the job itself isn't allowed according to local leaders?

      He had wanted to be asophomore, felt the word carried a kind of distinction, but the truck broke downshort of it, pitching him directly into ranch work

      The main characters are very poor. They don't have enough funds to repair vehicle to go to school. Ended up doing ranch work to get money.
