According to de Las Casas, the key characteristics of the Indians are simplest, obedient, faithful, humble, patient, peaceful and calm. In the article, he writes that, “God has created all these numberless people to be quite the simplest, without malice or duplicity, most obedient, most faithful to their natural Lords, and to the Christians, whom they serve; the most humble, most patient, most peaceful and calm, without strife nor tumults; not wrangling, nor querulous, as free from uproar, hate and desire of revenge as any in the world” (Cobbs. 8-9).

How should the American people deal with the Indian problem? Civilization or removal. Indians, also called Native Americans, lived in America long ago before European settlers came. The Cherokee Indians lived peacefully with White settlers, and nothing really happened until Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1828. He did a terrible thing to the Indian people by forcing them to leave their ancestral lands to move west of the Mississippi, which is the state of Oklahoma today.…
After living among the Cherokee in North Georgia as a missionary, I have discovered that the Indian peoples are quite useful. They are all civilized in their own way and know how to work hard for the things that they receive. Their work and harvest skills are impeccable and would be an excellent asset to any community. Although many of the white settlers coming to Georgia wish to dispose of the Indians, it would ultimately be more beneficial for them to stay. The Indians should be able to stay and I am willing to do anything to make this a possibility.…

In the novel The Ecological Indian, the author Shepherd Krech critically engages with narratives about the relationships between indigenous peoples and “nature.” The author distills the relationship he has observed in history and media into the term, “noble indian/ecological indian” where Native Americans are placed on a pedestal with regards to ecological, conservation and environmental practices. Implied in this description is the contrast with Europeans who are not ecological rather, destructive and wasteful. Throughout the novel, the author provides evidence and arguments that challenge the “ecological Indian” narrative in an effort to unmask the cultural diversity hidden by the trope. This essay will examine the merits of Krech’s evidence…
