Dichotomous Dunbar

John Dunbar is considered to be a dichotomous character, meaning that he possesses two sides of himself that contrast one another, as illustrated in the chapters we read for today. 

Using specific evidence from the novel (find quotes!) give examples of Dunbar's dichotomous nature - his side that is white and his side that is Indian.

How do these two sides of his character create conflict within himself?  Which side do you feel illustrates the true nature of Dunbar?  Why?
