I thought it was interesting the way Heckewelder described marriage between Native Americans. It's the complete opposite of the way marriage was in Europe at the time. A Native American bride was usually not forced to marry or even to stay married. Native American women are not treated as much like the husband's property, as were the European women. I also found it interesting that Native American men would find whatever food that their pregnant or sick wife was craving.-Katelyn Lease | I thought it was interesting the way Heckewelder described marriage between Native Americans.
