Laforgue as Priest of the French Colonizers

...

Now as it comes to Indians it is quite interesting and twist mainly towards religion. As mentioned previously Daniel and Annuka were in love. So there is an obvious change for both characters. Now Chomina’s first change towards Laforgue was when a newborn had just died. As normal Christians they would bless the child. Chomina actually let him bless the children, while the rest of the tribe was telling him that it was an evil ritual and that the spirit of the newborn will never receive peace. Another clear example is when Chomina and the tribe leaves Laforgue stranded in a territory and actually goes after him to either save him or apologies to him. But unfortunately only Daniel, Laforgue, Chomina, Annuka and a small boy remained alive and captured. Lastly, Chomina had received a wound when fighting and was near his death. Chomina did not protest of any sort when Laforgue tried to bless him. But that is not about it. Laforgue reaches to the end of the journey. Where he settles and converts a group of Indians to become Christians. They accepted to become Christians just for the fact to try and end a disease that was killing most of them. But all the time Laforgue tells the truth about Christianity.

We have analyzed that cultural understanding can be possible. It does not have to be drastic and enforced such in Colonial times in La Hispaniola. Two total different cultures came about and solve their differences. They learned to live amongst them and with the respect they deserved. With this movie we can understand that it is a topic that occurs in 2015. Where culture clash occurs daily. The main role of individuals is to learn from them and understand other cultures to avoid any conflicts or disrespect. All activity done by enforcement will somehow end in a bad position.
