Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Church´s Mission to the Oneidas: Oneida Indian Reservation Wisconsin, 1902 Prejudice has ever, until the present time, held before the public. A. eye and mind a shabby and useless specimen of humanity in the Indian: and the quotation "Better keep some of them wild, Bishop, if you would keep the Church interested," shows one of the most evident misconceptions of the cynical mind. To make the Indian attractive to the majority of persons you must picture him in the gay paint and feathers of the wild, untutored savage, It is hard to arouse the interest even of Christian people in the Christianized and civilized Indians, and most persons seem incredulous and almost disappointed when you tell them that at the present time within the United States the real savage is hard to find; that all the Indians of whatsoever grade have learned something of Christianity: that all have abandoned in some degree their ancient superstitions. Indeed it is rather surprising to find how little is known of the number and condition of the North American Indians. It is a popular fancy that there are comparatively few Indians. That they are rapidly disappearing, and that in the ordinary course of nature they all will soon have passed to the "Happy Hunting Fields" of their forefathers. The facts are, there are nearly 250,000 of them exclusive of the Alaskans, they are not rapidly decreasing, and, with their improved surroundings, the absence of destructive wars, the gradual improvement of sanitary conditions, and the spread of Christianity and of education, the North American Indian will long survive among us as a distinct type. Another fact to be remembered is that the Indian nature is simply human nature bound in red and the Indian has the same affections, passions, desires and capacities as other people. A careful study of the Red men aided by contact with them on the Reservation, in their homes, and in the government schools, leads one to the firm conviction that, as a class, under favorable conditions, they are self-respecting, noble-minded, and responsive to all rightful appeals to their better nature. There are now more than 20,000 Indian youths enrolled in schools, and they show the same aptitude as white children under similar circumstances.
