<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>The Other Side of the Frontier:
Indigenous Encounters with Newcomers <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>They were strange peoples, with odd personal habits, unusual
dress, seemingly innate aggression, a powerful God, and a limited ability to live
off the land. To the indigenous peoples around the world, the
technologically impressive Europeans were not as awe-inspiring in many other
respects and, in some instances, generated more revulsion than
admiration. Most discussions of the native-newcomer relationship focuses
on how Europeans viewed Aboriginal people and cultures. The other side of this
relationship - the images and impressions that Indigenous populations had of
the Europeans - is equally important. Cultural contact flows in both directions.
Appreciating the Indigenous perspective is crucial to any attempt to
understanding the complexity of subsequent Native-newcomer relations. This
lecture repositions the historical camera and seeks to demonstrate the
fundamental necessity of appreciating how Aboriginal people viewed the
newcomers at the early stages of contact.<o:p></o:p></p>
