The most discerning aspect of this traveler was his staff, which bore the likeness of a great black snake (103). The traveler s staff seems to symbolize the evilness of its keeper.

These are the same programs which, "the government has always viewed as the ideal vehicle[s] by which to condition Native Americans to accept the values, and thus the domination of Euroamerica" (Noriega, 387).
