 Description: In his 1988 essay, Indian/White Relations: A View from the Other Side of the Frontier, Alfonso Ortiz asserts that American history is written strictly from the white man's perspective. While an American culture was being established, the cultures of the Native American were totally distorted. In fact, the European invaders tried to destroy that culture under the guise of trying to assimilate or Christianize the Native American in to the European culture. To have a true history of this land, the records must be written by all participants. In his essay, Ortiz laid out a model that would present people with a more accurate view of American history. Part of that model demanded that the historical values of oral traditions must be respected. As well, Ortiz felt it the duty of Native Americans to take on roles as historians and to accept the challenge to seek out, gather, and present accurate portrayals of history.[1]
