What the Hell is...?: The Indigenous Critique (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798303904606)

To most people, the term indigenous critique means absolutely nothing.

In a nutshell, the Indigenous Critique summarizes Native American impressions of Western culture, once they'd been exposed to it and had a chance to observe and evaluate it.

The Indigenous Critique, issued by a Wendat diplomat named Kandiaronk, dispels three myths: the myth that Native Americans were savages; the myth that the French Enlightenment's take on democratic governance was derived from the Roman Republic; and the myth that Native American tribes were violent and war-like, intent on repelling invaders.

This brief book presents an overview of the early contacts between European explorers and colonists and the Native Americans in Northeastern America, what they all thought of each other, and what it meant.
