Sarah
Attean’s grandmother is a stern but regal, elderly Native American woman. Attean explains that she speaks no English and hates all white people, especially after white bounty hunters murdered Attean’s mother for her scalp. However, when Matt goes out of his way to free Attean’s dog from an iron trap, Attean’s grandmother begins to accept Matt. She invites him to the village, offers him food, and it’s implied that she supports Saknis’s offer to take Matt with the tribe when they move north for the winter.

But to his surprise, deep inside he felt content. Was it because Attean’s dog had finally trusted him? No, more than that had changed. He had passed some sort of test. Not by any means with flying colors; he had plenty of bruises to remind him of that. But at least he had not disgraced Attean. He felt satisfied. And for the first time since his father had left him, he did not feel alone in the forest.
