| | 1 | Author: | Grinnell, George Bird | Add | | | Title: | The Wild Indian  | | | | Published: | 1994 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | IF after a long period the Indian problem remains a problem still,
it is because we have no sufficient knowledge of the people we are
striving to teach. The solution of the problem is not to be reached until
the stronger race shall understand the weaker, and, in the light of that
understanding, shall deal with it wisely and well. I say this with the
more confidence because for many years I have lived with the plains
people in their homes, engaging in their pursuits, sharing their joys and
sorrows, standing toward them in all essentials as one of themselves. I
have thus learned to think and feel as an Indian thinks and feels, and to
see things as he sees them and from his point of view. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
