White Man’s Dog, along with other members of the tribe believe this was a direct result of not fulfilling the Cold Maker’s mission. In this novel, dreams are a catalyst for redemption. This is evident when Fast Horse has another dream to justify his wrongdoings. However, Welch’s humanizing portrayal of the characters in this novel allows the reader to grow with them throughout the novel. In Fast Horse’s case, he becomes self-centered, much like the white man, and leaves his tribe to join a marauding tribe that pillages and plunders. This personifies his standing with his once family, and how he has turned his back on them to pursue individual goals, rather than communal obligation. Other members of the tribe soon follow suit, as Welch describes them as “being drunk on the white man’s water” (Welch 70). As a respected member of the tribe, Fools Crow attempts to aid those who have gone astray within his tribe.
