Mutual Perception
It is
interesting to note that another writer, Washington Irving, much younger than

differently.
‘The
Indians I have had an opportunity of seeing in real life are quite different
from those described in poetry…Taciturn they are, it is true, when in company
with white men, whose goodwill they distrust and whose language they do not
understand; but the white man is equally taciturn under like circumstances.
When the Indians are among themselves, they are great mimics, and entertain
themselves excessively at the expense of the whites… who have supposed them
impressed with profound respect for their grandeur and dignity… The white men
(as I have witnessed) are prone to treat the poor Indians as little better than
animals.’
