5. The "Long Knives" are called the Long Knives because on there rifles they have a long knife hanging from the rifle. The Long Knife threatened to Old Bear that if his warriors were on a raid, the long Knives would burn their village down. They would kill all the villagers, even the women and children.
6. Bright Morning reacts to the alarm when her dog barks because Black Dog only barks when there is bad things happening. Bright Morning and Running Bird saw what was coming in the distance and they knew it was trouble since black dog barked.
7. The differences between the Navahos and the way we live today is that the Navahos live in huts or wogans. They also don't have stores, or gas stations. They use horses for transportation and they dress diffrently. The similarties are that they herd sheep and they have dogs to help. They also live in probably the arizona...New Mexico...Nevada...type land, and so do we.
