While most of it is in jest or at his expense for a cheap laugh, some of the remarks do hit his insecurities. In the beginning of the story, White Man's Dog is teased and taunted by his peers and fellow tribesmen because of his misfortune and lack of wealth. So, with great adherence to cultural relativity and historical accuracy, Welch tells a story of an unfortunate Native American Man's life and the general demise of Native American culture. In addition to White Man's Dog's personal story is an excellent view into the Native American way of thought where their reverence for nature, dreams, kinship bonds, and dis-taste for unnecessary bloodshed and loss become clear through inside thought and vernacular. Within the book is the story of White Man's Dog, a young adult (early twenties) man in the Lone Eater's tribe on the plains of the American Frontier shortly after the American Civil War.
