Questions from part two of the movie

1) Why do only the Mohawk agree to fight with General Johnson?
- Only the Mohawks joined because none of the other tribes wanted to shed native blood in a white man’s war.
2) What are the results of the Battle of Lake George?
- At first the Mohawks on the French side tried to try to prevent the battle with their fellow Mohawks but the warning was too late. The battle lasted through out the day, until the British finally succeed in forcing the French to retreat. In the end on the British side, 30 warriors 150 colonials are died, their spirits are low, and the Mohawks returned home to mourn their dead. Lake George became the front line between two empires.

3) For what purposes did the Native Americans take captive? (List three)
-They took captives as (1) a weapon against encroachers, (2) as ransom or (3) it was a way to replace warriors killed in battle.

4) Why is the story of Mary Jemison presented? What purpose does it serve?
- Mary Jemison’s story was presented to show what was happening to other colonists and to reflect what was happening to many captives.

5) Do you agree with Washington's disciplinary practices on deserters? Why or why not?
- Not really, his method was to strike fear in his men so that they would obey. I don’t thank that is right and also if a couple of men don’t want to fight they should not be killed for it. I think Washington’s disciplinary practices were a little harsh.

6) Who is Montcalm and why doesn't he like the Natives?
- Montcalm was a French Commander. He saw the Natives as barbarians. He also didn’t like the way things took so long to get anywhere with them. He doesn’t like them because their ways are so much different than that of the French.

7) What is the Native Americans code of honor? How does this differ from the Europeans' Code of War?
- The Native ways were to plunder from their victims and take captives back to their village to replace warriors lost in battle. The European saw this as saveragie because they let the remaining opponents leave with a little dignity and respect.

8) Discuss the culture clash that happens at Fort William Henry.
- The Natives had a problem with the Europeans formal approach and were mad and felt disrespected when Montcalm did not allow them to take plunder or captives and even more disrespected when the French and British had a banquet without inviting the natives.
