Fools Crow

The tribal status of tweed domains detent, as it were in the beginning of Fools blow, was certainly not as he desired it to be. Due to the position of wealth his father had risen to, it castms the tribe expected oftentimes from him. Welch does not go into great detail concerning the views of the tribes mountain on White troopss Dog, nevertheless Yellow Kidney describes him on page 7 as having much heart provided ( beingness) unlucky1. It is true, being eight-teen without a wife and having only three horses, none of which being block horn runners White Mans Dog does in fact appear unlucky.However, Yellow Kidney plays a major role in the reversal of this luck. White Mans Dog has a complete turn in tribal status, earning a wife and horses as well as a parvenue(a) identity with in the tribe. Dreams ar a constant theme in Fools Crow. Many different characters expect dreams, and each responds differently to them. During the trip to the Crow Raid, White Mans Dog has a dream a bout naked women desiring him, but fears danger if he goes. He wants to inform Yellow Kidney of this dream put hesitates due to advice he had have from his father.In the end this was a costly decision, as the dream comes to fruition during the raid, not White Mans Dog, but for Yellow Kidney. Turns-out the alarm for risk was valid, as Yellow Kidney gets very sick from his come about with the Crow Women. When news of White Mans Dog feels responsible2 for this outcome. During this same raid, riotous Horse also has a dream. Fast Horse is prideful and boasts of his dream, which turned out to not come true. Fast Horse was greatly unkept by this and seemed to have his future driven by it. The most consequential dream was had by Mik-api.In this dream, Mik-api spoke to Raven about Wolverine who was trapped, and needed White Mans Dog to attend him. This dream did in fact come to realization and resulted in White Mans Dog gaining confidence and his medicine. As a result of White Mans Dog realizing his new inner strength, he was able to take part in war against the Crows. This battle would prove brio changing for White Mans Dog as it would be where he earned his new mention Fools Crow. His great modesty made acceptance of his new name very difficult. The meaning scum bag it had been stretched greatly out of its real context.During battle, White Mans Dog played dead, fooling the Crow Chief, Bull Shield. Beca use up Bull Shield assumed White Mans Dog was indeed dead, it was executable for him to spring up and kill the chief. This account was, as I said, greatly inflated and reported that, with use of medicine, White Mans Dog was able to fool all told the crows, thus earning his new name Fools Crow. As I have read through all the tales and recounts contained in the many great pieces of aborigine American Literature, one theme has stood out to me more than anything else.Maybe it is due to my admiration for nature, but it seems all tribes made great attempts to both explain natural events and create an association of these events with human life. Welch clearly depicts the Blackfoot people as being of this same mind frame. The names and life given to the wind, the sun and various animals reports on their own view of the world they live in. The relationship a male Blackfoot has with his animal shows this relationship betwixt humans and nature.This disposition, of a human and nature link, shows the worldview of this tribe clearly as an all-encompassing outlook. They undoubtedly see the world as one big union, everything being linked to one another. The walk I took with White Mans Dog, growing and changing into Fools Crow was an intense one to say the least. James Welch has the unearthly ability to connect reader to character and I feel as if Fools Crow and I have a bond, as if he and his story have been made alive with in the many nights Ive spent with him.
