Biography:
As Lucas Beauchamp notes, the land that would have been Ike's McCaslin's inheritance was originally acquired from "the Indians back in the old time" (36). In "The Old People" the Indians are specifically identified as Chickasaws. Sam Fathers, himself half-Indian and the son of a chief, refers to the tribe as "the People" (158). Ike refuses to own the land, but Sam does pass some of their ways on to him.
