How people tend to know their place better
it should come as no surprise that Mohawks steadfastly remained Mohawks, that Aleuts did not become Chickasaws, that Hopis persisted as Hopis, and that all regarded the suggestion that they do otherwise as a lunacy to be politely ignored
Well yeah..How DARE they become like something or someone else..ha ha

Which they (Native Americans) really didn't have to do that, but they also benefited from it as can be seen by saying they "studied" them.
Native Americans, quite familiar and at ease with the realities of cultural pluralism, were in a sense pre-adapted to regard the sudden appearance of "new" people with equanimity
If it is seen to be as easy for Native Americans, why couldn't it be as simple for those coming in as "new peoples" who saw the Native Americans as new instead. When in reality, it was they who were new and foreign but were accepted naturally

Similar to distinguishing who is who when looking at defining "American" or "American-ness", because of how many different peoples there were; that similarly spoke different languages and got pushed together in a sense

Ohh, he didn't show them right away. Suppose that makes more sense as to why they were in disbelief but still rude
They paid no attention to him, and the young men of the tribe to whom he repeated the story laughed in his face.

Such an assumption to make about women, even if so true about White Hawk
The message was taken to the Red Head, who immediately crossed the lake in his canoe. As it neared the shore White Hawk saw that its framework was of live rattlesnakes, who thrust out their heads and hissed and rattled as he stepped into the boat. The Red Head spoke to them and they quieted down, as dogs at the word of their master.
Are the snakes for decoration or for intimidation? Both perhaps for such a man as he

It was the arrow he had shot that morning
I suppose that is the proof of it being genuine, that luck that he woke up beside it too..
brought no food with him and had found but a few acorns in the forest.
Come on man, bringing no food always leads to trouble
He did not know which way to go, so as soon as it was light he shot an arrow into the air and followed the direction of its flight.
Interesting way to find the correct direction, does it have any possible way to be genuine?

Shaming the heck out of him then, he should know by then it means something to them (his parents)
They did not, like many of their tribe, return from the wintering grounds to feast and be idle; but built themselves a lodge in the forest, where they laid store for the future.
