Many may contend that the novel’s main character, Grendel, is guilty of evil by virtue of his vile actions. However, Gardner’s description of Grendel’s resistance to evil impulses and capability of human emotions suggest that Grendel is simply responding to his environment.

They also had their children help out because of the fact that they didn 't want the children to hunt at a young age. The roots were also used for medicine along with foot. Since the Dakota were nomadic, they would move and migrate where ever the buffalo went and when food was scare they would have their meat dried and take around with them so they were never hungry.
