How do the Native Americans illustrate the concept of "community first" in the novel, Blood on the River?

The Native Americans have a cultural expectation of "community first" as a group benefit. Like in Chapter 19, when the servant boys imitate the Indians and plant beans and corn together, the Natives know that working together is essential. Everyone contributes what they can, and everyone eats. Even their crops are used to benefit one another: beans and corn are planted together because they help each other to grow and keep the soil healthy. When the colony is considered part of the Powhatan empire, the Indians share food and shelter when the colony is nearly destroyed by fire. This is how people survive in the wilderness.
