Samuel dresses like them because his English clothes are to hot to where. He looks like them because they rub a mixture on there skin to keep the sun and bugs away. He also shaved one side of his head so it wouldn't get caught in his bow.

He wears mantles because English clothes are hot and wears a deerskin mantle for warmth. He makes a bow and arrow to help him hunt. He cuts his hair because it gets in his way. He wears the reddish paste to protect him from the sun and insects. He puts decorations in his hair to be decorative. He wears moccasins to walk quietly on snow.  That is why he decides to dress and look like Indians.

Samuel dresses like the Indians so that he can be comfortable and safe. His skin looks the Indians because they rub themselves with this rub that keeps the bugs away and protects him from the sun. He shaved the side of his head so that his hair wouldn't get stuck in his bow and arrow. Lastly, he wears mantles because his English clothes are too hot. Those are the reasons he starts to look like an Indian.

He starts to dress look them so he can fit  in and survive. The red skin is made to protect them from the bugs. The moccians are made up of deer skins so they can hunt without making a noise. And the mantle is so he doesn't get too hot.

One reason is that when he uses the bow and arrow his hair get tangled in the arrow. So he has to shave one side of his head. Another reason is that winter was coming so he needed warm deer skin. And to hunt food, he used moccasins to stay quiet.

 He wears a mantel because the English clothes are hot. His head is shaved so it will not get caught in the bowstring. He all so used certain oils that turned his skin red to keep the bugs off and to protect him from the sun.  He does all of this to stay safe and survive.

Samuel dresses like that because there are reasons to do that. Like the hair Kaita's mother cut his hair only on the right not on the left because so Samuel's hair doesn't get stuck on the thing that you put the arrows in.He wore moccasins so that when he hunted it wouldn't make any noise and protect his feet and other reasons to do other stuff.

The reason is to cut their hair on one side is so the bow and arrow will not tear their hair or cut them, and the reason of the body paint is tho camoflage and protect from the sun.

The hair is cut on one side because, so their arrows won't get stuck on their hair, oil on their body to keep flies away, and moccasin shoes to stay quiet, while hunting.

     The reason that he wore the native style clothes is so he wouldn't be hot. He shaved one side of his head so he wouldn't get it caught in his bow. He wears moccasins to protect his feet and still be quiet. He also wears a combination of things put together in a red liquidy substance to protect him from the sun and bugs.

He wears like them because his own English cloths are hot in Jamestown. Also he wears Warraskoyack's cloth because other insects or things don't get in.
