This picture shows the mindset that was needed for Cabeza De Vaca to become what he did. Although his ancestors were extremely well known and successful heroes of battle, he was himself. Even though so much was expected of him, he was still his own man. Sure he was a lousy leader, but that's who he was. He showed kindness and respect to the Native Americans and that allowed him to become a friends of various Indian tribes. He wasn't a chicken meaning he didn't get afraid (although he was marooned) and kill them off, but gave them respect and became very well treated. He was himself and it got him very far. It gave him "freedom and happiness" (Talking Chicken).
...laugh out loud...talking chicken...
