The Comparison of Chanuka and Neosho

The Indian boys, Chanuka and Neosho, are both very adventurous. When the boys can’t go on the big hunt they both decide to go on their own adventure. The boys, from different tribes, already had their enemies decided for then. When Chanuka came across Neosho and helped him an unspoken friendship occurred. He knew that he had come across another boy like him with no better reason to be there than he was, but that it was forbidden. Both boys knew the Indian sighs that all Indians know to communicate with each other, yet still they did not talk. The boys shared many of the same features, do to the fact they where both Indians. Neither boy wanted to fight the other like their tribal elders would have wanted. So they didn’t, but instead they took care of each other and Chanuka hunted and feed Neosho when he was weak. Chanuka wanted to fight Neosho and take him back to his tribe as a captive as soon as he was better, but when he realized Noesho was not a warrior his determination failed.
Although both are adventurous they have a very different culture. Chanuka belonged to the Ojibway, and woodland tribe that hunts elk and moose, while Neosho belonged to the Dakota a Great plains people hunting mostly bison. Chanuka thought it was foolish the way Neosho didn’t know the moose would charge, but Neosho didn’t know any better. Noesho liked to talk about his tribe and the buffalo dance they do, but Chanuka did not want to talk about anything. He would only listen sometimes to the stories of Neosho. Chanuka was scared to go home to his tribe because the last time he had done this he was put to squaw's work. While Neosho was happy to be going home to perform the famous buffalo dance when the warriors would arrive home.
