Kellye, Calloway says on page 169 of "A Captive with the Abenakis," the reason for the tribes to adopt white people was to replace those that had died, to balance out the population levels. The sachem of the Huron in which Magua belonged to in the movie seemed to adopt Alice into the tribe when he made her Magua's wife to replace Magua's dead children and to continue the Munro blood. -Lauren
 
  
 
One issue I have with the movie is the accents.  I mean, what was going on with the different accents scattered throughout?
