Lo! the poor Indian, whose untutor'd mind Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind; His soul proud Science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk, or milky way; Yet simple Nature his hope has giv'n, Behind the cloud-topt hill, an humbler heav'n.
Alexander Pope, 173334
We don't want merely blankets to cover the body, we want Light! We want Education!

Acknowledgments
Perhaps it takes a foreigner like myself, so far from the source, to appreciate fully the privileges of an American research grant. Work on this book was made possible in great part by an American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship to the Tecumseh Center, University of California at Davis, in 197980; a Ford Foundation Fellowship to the D'Arcy McNickle Center for the History of the American Indian at the Newberry Library, Chicago, in 198687; and a Gordon Russell Visiting Professor grant to the Native American Studies Program at Dartmouth College in 1995. A hearty thanks goes out to all the good people at these honorable academic institutions, many of whom have since become friends, and to their treasure-trove libraries. I was also fortunate to be able to participate in two research projects conducted at the Center for North American Studies (ZENAF), Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universitt, Frankfurt, which gave me a space to write in and allowed me to cross the ocean for several occasions: one on acculturation among American Indians presided by Wolfgang Lindig and funded by the Volkswagen-Stiftung, 198083; the other on early American Indian literature presided by Martin Christadler and funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, 199193. I want to express my appreciation as well for the ever mindful staff of the small but surprisingly well-stocked Vlkerkundliche-Bibliothek of the Institut fr Historische Ethnologie at the same university, where my first "excursions" into the topic took place back in the late 1970s.
