Question

What evidence does Little Crane give that the white people are not "original people" like the Indians are?

Answer 1

Answer: :) hope this helps

Explanation:

  Little Crane says that white people are weak because they have mixed blood. Unlike the Lenni Lenape, an "original people," whites are an impure race, made "foolish and troublesome" by conflicting traits of their ancestors. It doesn't occur to Little Crane that the Lenni Lenape custom of adopting white captives adds the same impurities to the Lenni Lenape gene pool.

  To further prove white inferiority, Half Arrow derides the Bible as proof that whites have no instinctive morality; they must learn right from wrong by "the cumbersome labor of reading." To Half Arrow, the idea of writing God's word is unthinkable. He boasts that Indians know what is good and what is bad without having to rely on anything but themselves.
