Indian American Tribe

Improved Essays
A group of Indians were hunting and while they were taking the animal apart, another tribe was walking by. They gave this tribe fish in exchange for permission to pass by. Their land was ravaged, but they didn’t say by who. It shows how the villages are like in the Indian’s type of perspective. One of them gets bullied and made fun of, because he can’t have kids. One of the elders starts giving a lesson, or speech, in the middle of the night. Everybody on the village is gathered around listening to his wise words. At the end of the speech the tribe does their spiritual dance and Jaguar Paw, one of the indians, lays down with his pregnant wife and talk about their son. Jaguar Paw has a nightmare after all of this and he starts thinking about …show more content…
The people they didn’t kill, they would tie up. Paw’s father was killed, they slit his throat. They wanted Jaguar Paw alive, though. The people that got tied up, were taken into slavery. One dude from the other tribe almost saw Jaguar’s wife and he threw a boulder to see if anyone was in the pit. The rock hit the little kid on his leg, and so the mother has to cure it. As she is doing this, the other people who are slaves now are walked across the river and the kids stay by themselves. One girl says that she will take care of them and she will provide for them. One group of slaves, the one Jaguar was in, almost fell down a cliff. The last one on the line died and dragged them down, so the other tribe member went and let him go down the cliff, after they were back up. The leader came and almost killed the guy who let the other dude go. As the slaves were being taken to their destined place. As they walked a little girl was talking about a jaguar rebirth and the day will look as night. So I am guessing there might be an eclipse. They saw some people with illnesses and the torture other slaves were going through. They were being marked all over their body in blue paint, only the guys, so people could recognize them, I am guessing. They were being sold. They were walking and they …show more content…
As they run into the fields. As it was Jaguar Paw’s turn he got to the end and he kills the leader’s son, after that they try to kill Jaguar Paw. He starts to run away into the field. As he was running away he ended up encountering a place full of dead bodies he ignored them and kept on going. He ran into the forest. He climbed up a tree to hide from the people, but there he met with a jaguar. He started running away from it, and the enemies still tried to kill him. The jaguar killed one of the nine enemies by biting his face. As it was killing him, the others arrived and killed the jaguar. One of them mentioned the omen that the little girl was talking about in the trip to the building. Meanwhile Jaguar’s wife is still in the pit, and is running in more danger than expected. Another guy has just died, a snake bit him on his neck, he is the only one so far that believed in the omen. Jaguar ran into a waterfall and decided to jump, he did not die. His enemies decided to jump as well, but one was stabbed by the leader, because he wasn’t trying to jump. One jumped and died. Now there are five left only. Jaguar was running and he ran into quicksand-type of mud, he got out of it, but it took a lot of energy out of him. He grabbed a hornet’s nest and threw it at them. They all fled from where he was. The wife was still trying to find a way out of the pit, before it started to rain. Or it will go
