Euramericans have consistently used the label "Indians" to refer to most of the indigenous peoples of North America, a label which commemorates the geographical ignorance of the first Europeans who recorded their "discovery" of the New World; the more modern "Native American" is unquestionably more accurate, though it is equally sweeping in conflating various cultures into a single term From the beginning of white-Native American contact, whites ' ave generated a substantial bod)' of lore concerning "Indian

    THE LAST OF COMPLETE CLASSICS THE MOHICANS UNABRIDGED JAMES FENIMORE COOPER Read by William Hope This famous novel deals with the early frontier period of American history and is set in 1757 during the Seven Years War between the French and the British. Intrepid frontiersman and scout Natty ‘Hawkeye’ Bumppo has lived among Indians for most of his life, respecting their customs and acquiring the skills of an experienced woodsman. His closest companion Chingachgook, the Mohican chief, and his son Uncas are the last surviving members of the Mohican tribe. When the evil Magua threatens the life of an innocent English woman, Hawkeye and the Mohicans find themselves at the centre of a battle for honour and vengeance. Canadian by birth, William Hope grew up in Montreal before training at RADA as an actor.

  • The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimoore Cooper
    The Last of the Mohicans By James Fenimoore Cooper Chapter 12 “Clo.—I am gone, sire, And anon, sire, I’ll be with you again.” —Twelfth Night The Hurons stood aghast at this sudden visitation of death on one of their band. But as they regarded the fatal accuracy of an aim which had dared to immolate an enemy at so much hazard to a friend, the name of “La Longue Carabine” burst simultaneously from every lip, and was succeeded by a wild and a sort of plaintive howl. The cry was answered by a loud shout from a little thicket, where the incautious party had piled their arms; and at the next moment, Hawkeye, too eager to load the rifle he had regained, was seen advancing upon them, brandishing the clubbed weapon, and cutting the air with wide and powerful sweeps. Bold and rapid as was the progress of the scout, it was exceeded by that of a light and vigorous form which, bounding past him, leaped, with incredible activity and daring, into the very center of the Hurons, where it stood, whirling a tomahawk, and flourishing a glittering knife, with fearful menaces, in front of Cora. Quicker than the thoughts could follow those unexpected and audacious movements, an image, armed in the emblematic panoply of death, glided before their eyes, and assumed a threatening attitude at the other’s side. The savage tormentors recoiled before these warlike intruders, and uttered, as they appeared in such quick succession, the often repeated and peculiar exclamations of surprise, followed by the well–known and dreaded appellations of: The Last of the Mohicans: Chapter 12 by James Fenimoore Cooper “Le Cerf Agile! Le Gros Serpent!” But the wary and vigilant leader of the Hurons was not so easily disconcerted.

  • Jesuit Responses to Native American Dreams in the Early Seventeenth Century
    DISCERNING DREAMS IN NEW FRANCE: JESUIT RESPONSES TO NATIVE AMERICAN DREAMS IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Deirdre C. McMurtry, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Approved By Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Advisor Professor Matt Goldish ____________________________________ Professor Alice Conklin Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT Recent scholarship on the seventeenth-century Jesuit-Amerindian encounter in New France has emphasized the cultural disruptiveness and loss of the various native groups as a result of the missionary project. Crucial to understanding this loss of traditional Amerindian culture, however, is a parallel understanding of the cultural and intellectual forces coming from Europe which shaped and often restricted the Jesuits’ attitudes toward native customs. Examining the first fifty years of the cross-cultural encounter through the lens of dream interpretation, this paper argues that the Jesuits made several adjustments to their initial assumptions and responses toward native dreams. Although the Jesuits originally denounced all native dreams as superstitious, the advent of native convert dreams forced the Jesuits to recognize the placement of at least some native dreams within traditional Christian categories of visions and miracles, even though some of these dreams retained characteristics which they condemned in traditional native dreams. Over time, however, the Jesuits’ accommodating policy drew criticisms from competing missionaries. Because the dispute centered on events in China rather than Canada, the acceptability of convert dreams was resolved first by a silence on the issue in public records and later by a retraction of the papal condemnation of the Chinese Rites ruling and certain accomodationist practices.
