His sister Quickbird is relived to see him once again. She was no longer as upset as before. Little Hawk ask why? As Little Hawk was on his journey the village had done many trades with the white men. They would trade fur, for weapons or farming skills for clothes. But some how we caught a disease, and it spread like a wild fire. Most of the village died. There were a few other people fine, but the rest were a deeply sick.

Question #2 Themes

        The theme is consistent through out the passage. It is seems as the main theme through out the book is to survive. To stride and overcome obstacles given to you. As the author gives many hints of what the main theme is, sometimes yo cant tell. Usually it's about Little Hawk surviving or his manitou, his spirit that he follows for life. Plays an important part in the theme. He guides Little Hawk through out the book. By showing him whats right and wrong.
