One of the most outstanding qualities of True Son, the main character in the novel, is his courage. He's forced to return to the white culture and endure humiliation, but he faces each situation with his dignity in tact, not allowing his temper to get the best of him. He's torn between two worlds and realizes that neither of them is totally right or wrong. He knows the Lenni Lenape are wrong to kill in order to avenge Little Crane, and he sees the cruelty of the whites' vengeance against his tribe. I believe True Son shows his greatest courage when he is willing to betray the Lenni Lenape to stop them from slaughtering innocent white people. True Son is willing to suffer whatever consequences he must to do the right thing as a human being.
