| + | I wonder how the Native American men reacted to being told that they were the master and their wives shouldn't rule over them. Father Le Jeune obviously assumes that the women in this particular culture have a lot of power, particularly over their husbands, but I can't imagine that Native American men, accustomed to such a situation, would necessarily think of their relationships with their wives in terms of power or mastery over someone else. And if they did start to think in those terms, the women were probably faced with a really sudden change in their relationship with their husbands! I'd be interested in seeing more about how things like what Father Le Jeune was saying influenced existing relationships between men and women. | ||
