How does the white man begin to see the levels of society within the tribe? What does the white man think of these levels and the treatment of the certain members?

When having got in the Crows’ camp he considered those people savages and heathens, he had only one wish to escape. They did not consider him equal, and he had to gain their respect. First he had to gain their trust, and he managed to do this with showing no rebellion against the Crows, and with their trust he received an opportunity to hunt and gained respect by killing a hostile Indian and bringing two horses into the camp. And finally he gained equality by marring Pretty Calf. But he got used to them, he learnt there to love, to be devoted to ones he loves, to respect and be honest. Thus he understood that all the people are equal, and never after felt himself different, or treated another like an unequal of him, and his status in society did not matter.
