When Pontiac states he is the master of life he is referring to the human ability to both create and destroy life. This is important because it is a subtle nod to the end where he calls his people to arms against the Europeans which may be considered as the overall goal of this entire piece.

This document also tells us about the effect the European contact had on Native culture as well as the wellbeing and health of Native people. It states that the European trade has softened the Native People and that they do not actually need to rely on them at all but they still do because they are prioritizing comfort over tradition.

This allows us to understand the piece was written by chief Pontiac in 1763 and it also allows us to gain some insight into why he believes this way due to the addition of Neolin's call.

Why does accepting help from the Europeans constitute being bad to the Author?

If it was made for just one person or group of people why do so many reside here?

Within the document the primary voice spoken is chief Pontiac who speaks for Native Americans within the Ottawa tribe.

This gives reason why Pontiac wanted to write this piece. That being to reinvigorate and replant the seeds of culture that the Europeans took away.
