Quote #10
"You've done a grown man's job, son," he said. "I'm right proud of you."
Matt could not speak. […] This was how Attean had felt, he knew, when he had found his manitou and become a hunter. (24.20-21)
For Attean manhood means becoming a hunter, and for Matt it means earning his father's praise. In both cases, by becoming like their fathers, the boys become men.
