To begin, Chingachgook, is the father of the last member of the Mohican tribe, Uncas. Both have grown up in the forest and are very spiritual and tradition-driven.

    Rountree starts the book by "setting the scene," she introduces the Indians and attempts to explain the complexities of the Powhatan society. This may be the hardest part of the book for most readers to follow, because the system of leadership and the leadership line is quite complicated. It is explained the Powhatan, the king of the Powhatan people, ascended to the throne through a matrilineal system, Powhatan being his mothers oldest son would rule first, then his next brother and so on. Once his mother had no more sons to rule leadership would be passed on to the son of his mothers eldest daughter, and so on. This system, while difficult to understand is easily justified; a man could possibly have two children at the same instant but no matter what a woman can only have one child at a time.

As the Europeans and Spanish Missionaries considered the desert an inhospitable place that was better to avoid because of its lack of food resources. Little did those European and Spanish missionaries know that the land was ripe with food, only if you knew the land and the seasons.

  • Summary Of The Article 'Selections On The Iroquois'

    While all four of these articles had their own unique knowledge and points of view, the one that I found to be most stimulating was that of the Selections on the Iroquois. After reading this particular article, I found myself drawing many similarities to many of the same things I took away after reading Deloria’s Sacred Places and Moral Responsibilities article. I think that both these selections are rooted from the same underlying message, respect for the environments and surrounding lands. While the Sacred Places and Moral Responsibilities reading revolved more around this idea of certain territories’ being considered holy for the Hopi people, the Selections on the Iroquois embodies many of these same environmental similarities. For instance, on page 4 we are presented with the value to which the tree bark means to the overall function and construction of the
