Although Dan was half Apache he didn’t understand the language which made him an outsider on the reservation, While since he was half Apache that made him an outsider in the Anglo world. Dan explains how people gossips about the “ultimate outsider”(90) who’s dog is so aggressive one will surely lose a finger or two if they come too close(87-91).

I felt angry and horrified of the effect society can affect one person so much, and how society was completely okay with
