Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beothucks or Red Indians: The Aboriginal Inhabitants of Newfoundland
From this chaotic mass of material, I shall endeavour to sift as much of the truth as possible, and finally make such corrections as are deemed necessary, or offer such solutions of points in the narrations as seem to require explanation. Modern research in ethnological studies affords much new light upon such subjects, which was entirely beyond the reach of the earlier writers.
I am fully aware that all my efforts must still fall very short in many respects, and that there are probably, numerous unrelated traditions Which have not come under my notice. I can only claim that I have used my best endeavours to preserve from oblivion, the principal facts relating to this interesting but unfortunate section of the human family.
I had long since intended publishing the result of these enquiries but various circumstances interposed to prevent my doing so, not the least of which was the hope that at any moment some additional or important fact might come within my reach; furthermore, I had cherished the hope of being able to trace certain documents known to have been in existence, but in this I have been but partially successful.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating and tragic story of the Beothuk people, the indigenous inhabitants of Newfoundland. Drawing on a wealth of historical documents, firsthand accounts, and oral traditions, the author meticulously pieces together the Beothuk's way of life, their interactions with European explorers, and their ultimate demise. Set against the backdrop of European colonization in North America, the book explores the complex relationship between the Beothuk and the newcomers. It examines the cultural clashes, misunderstandings, and ultimately, the devastating consequences of European encroachment on their land and resources. Through vivid descriptions and insightful analysis, the author sheds light on the Beothuk's unique culture, their beliefs, and their struggles. The book raises profound questions about the impact of colonialism, the importance of cultural understanding, and the responsibility we have towards indigenous peoples. By bringing the Beothuk's story to life, this book serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving cultural diversity and the need to learn from the mistakes of the past.
