Besides their ancestral differences, Neosho and Chanuka have many similar interests. The two are both are young Indian boys who have very little experience with hunting. Sense they didn't have much experience with hunting or killing they couldn't go of to war. The boys didn't like the thought of saying home with the women so they both ran off. Neosho and Chanuka both went to a place called no- mans land. They were gone for a lengthy period of time.
These boys may have a lot in common but their minds work in different ways like their culture. Neosho was hurt when Chanuka came upon him on the banks of the river. Chanuka at the time was in his birch bark canoe. Neosho's tribe, on the other hand uses dug out canoes. The boys didn't talk much while they were together, but a strange bond grew between them. Chanuka didn't want to even talk to Neosho, but Neosho did try to or attempted to talk to Chanuka. They also have different moccasins, as shown when in the story the two had to switch shoes because if the Dakota tribe saw Chanuka's moccasins they would have seen the difference din the two. The Dakota moccasins are puckered, but the Ojibway's are beaded with colorful beads. Also on the way to Neosho's camp Chanukaq had to travel to the plains because the Dakotas are plain dwellers, while Ojibway are forest dwellers. All though the two tribes are enemies, in the end the the boy were friend at heart.
