Context of Quest

Native Americans had several ways of gaining access to spiritual power. One was through dreams and visions, which most Native Americans interpreted as spiritual instructions. Sometimes, as in Hiawatha’s case, a dreamer received a message for his or her people. Native people also sought power through physical ordeals.
