Question

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 supposedly impressed them 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.
Questions:
(i) Who is the author of this passage? How did he describe a native?
(ii) How did William Wordsworth and French philosopher Rousseau view the natives differently?
(iii) What are the different names used in English to describe native peoples of the New World?
