In the book The Sign of the Beaver why does Saknis want Attean to learn how to read?
Saknis wants Attean to be able to read the treaties and so he won't give up land if he signs treaties. To be more clear, white men (no offense) have been evilly tricking the Indians by making them sign a contract. A contract in which agreeing for the Indians to give their land to the white men. Saknis' tribe doesn't know how to read the English language, so they sign the contract not even knowing what they've done. This is where Matt comes in, teaching Attean how to read so they won't be tricked anymore.
