- ... and also useless. These two groups of people acted extremely hostile towards each other. But that is sure to change. Dunbar only goes out because he wants to see the frontier, or land that hasn t been settled. This just so happens to be Indian land. As the story progresses, Dunbar befriends the tribe, turns against his Northern army, and goes to live with the Sioux. The tone here is a more warm and friendly environment, because Dunbar realizes that his new friends are more civil than men of his own kind. Things really start to turn around when Dunbar s troops find out that he has joined the Sioux. They trap him and beat him, then make him serve as a slave.
