Best Answer

Hovering over the historical context of

the novel is the external conflict between white settlers

and American Indians, two worlds in constant

collision. Other important conflicts include Matt's

external conflict with the wilderness environment,

which calls forth all his resources in order to survive;

an external conflict between Matt and Attean, a

young Indian, which gives rise to an uneasy alliance;

and Matt's internal conflict as he recognizes that the

American Indian way of life challenges and unsettles

many of his preconceptions about the differences

between so-called "civilized" and "savage" people
