Answer 3

Although Indians have always played a part in the narrative of colonial, revolutionary,
and early national America, it is only in the last 20 years that historians have come to see
their role as having made much of a difference. In the narratives of the great nineteenthcentury
historians, Indians appeared as savages, either noble or brutal in character, just as
they did in the novels of James Fenimore Cooper. Indians were assumed to be few in
number and inseparably associated with a wilderness that receded as the frontier (and
white civilization) advanced. In fact, nineteenth-century historians so persistently
understated the size of Indian populations and the capacity of native people to adapt to
the changes wrought by European colonization that their narratives resembled Cooper’s
fiction far more closely than they did the realities of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
North American life. Thanks to their writings, however, the Vanishing Indian became a
stock character in a national history from which he was fated to disappear, either by
assimilation into the broader society or by simple extinction. The continent’s first peoples
therefore remained marginal to a grand narrative dominated by assumptions of Manifest
Destiny and governed by the powerful teleology of American nationhood.
