Question

29. It is interesting to note that another writer, Washington Irving, much younger than Wordsworth and
who had actually met native people, described them
quite differently
The Indians I have had an opportunity of seeing in real life are quite different from those described in
poetry... Taciturn they are, it is true, when in company with white men, whose goodwill they distrust
and whose language they do not understand; but the white man is equally taciturn under like
circumstances. When the Indians are among themselves, they are great mimics, and entertain
themselves excessively at the expense of the whites... who have supposed them impressed with
profound respect for their grandeur and dignity... The white men (as I have witnessed) are prone to
treat the poor Indians as little better than animals.'
