conflict

The thing that really stood out to me were the lines on page 232 -
"They have their stories about us- Indian people who are only marking time and waiting for the end. And they would end this story right here, with you fighting to your death alone in these hills."
I think that it really shows the conflict and the contrast in the beliefs and views of the Native Americans and of those of the Whites. The Whites kind of have their own view of the Native Americans and choose to use what they think of them as an overruling opinion for all. These stories of the Native American people, culture, and traditions are not something that end or are just simply forgotten, but to the Native Americans they are the values that last and transcend time, passed on from generation to generation.
