Martin goes into some detail about this particular group, and how they reacted to the white European colonizers who came into their land years ago. What seems amazing about what Martin tells the reader is how diplomatic these relations were. In addition, I found it astonishing that both, the ...

Marjorie, braiding her hair, "looked like a delicate painting of some Saxon princess." Her braids "moving under the supple fingers like restive snakes" suggest her treachery.
