1.) The purpose of song and dance in this video of "Cayuga Smoke Dance," is that it has communal and occasional aspects. Communal becuase they are all dancing and singing together in a fluid motion having that "expressive of collective memory, emotion, and identity." Occasional because, it was part of a ceremony that they did most like had to do with war and helping those warriors get ready for battle, but now it is used at pow-wows.

a.) Indians - Believed that the spirit god made everything "he created buffalo, the deer, and other animals for food" - 4

Liquor is a big problem for the Natives "it was strong and powerful and has slain thousands" - 6
Red Jacket called the Native American, "red children; he has given us a different complex, and different customs." - 8-10
Whites - Is the enemy, "they gave us poison in return...they wanted more land." - 4

"Brother, this council fire was kindled by you; it was your request that we come together at this time" Also the emphasize of "you say" is followed with something negative "you say that you are right, and we are lost...you say there is only one way to worship and serve the Great Spirit" trying to show that they do not like what these white people try/making them
