I personally thought that this chapter thing was pretty intresting. The whole bear and whithces thing didn't really make much sense to me. And i don't really understand why they sent Tayo to this medicine man, Betonie. This guy also struck me is intresting. He seemed more like a phsycaritrist to me then a Native American doctor. I thought it was intresting the way he described himself and just the way he was was i don't kind of strange to me. And who is his partner Sush? The boke says he is like a bear or something. I also think that is seems like the native american people are blaming all their problems on the white people. Which i think is sort of ironic because that's kinda how it is here. (no offense). But to me if the native americans blame all their problems on the white people but why did they like allow it all to happen, you know why did they get influenced by them Idk... anyway. So yeah the whitch thing was very intresting as well...
"then they grow away from the earth then they grow away from the sun then they grow away from the plants and animals. they see no life when they look they see only objects. the world is a dead thing for them the trees and rivers are not alive the mountains and stones are not alive. The deer and bear are objects. they see no life. " Page 135
i just thought this was a good way to get her point across i guess. and just a intresting way to describe how a person can be. None the less a whole race.

Isn't there a poem in the book that talks about the bear child? I thought that shush lived with bears when he was a baby, and that's why he psychologically wasn't entirely human. That's why he seems so detached from everything, right?
