Sinossi

In "The American Indians," Henry Schoolcraft provides a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of Indigenous cultures and societies within the United States during the 19th century. Employing a meticulous ethnographic approach and a rich narrative style, Schoolcraft delves into the customs, languages, and histories of various tribes, emphasizing their complexities and unique identities. His work is nestled within the broader literary context of American Romanticism and early anthropological studies, where the fascination with the 'noble savage' and the quest for a deeper understanding of Native Americans were prevalent among contemporary writers and scholars. Henry Schoolcraft, an influential figure in American literature and a government geologist, was driven by his passion for Indigenous rights and knowledge. His interactions with various tribes and a deep respect for their traditions allowed him to present their perspectives authentically, countering the dominant narratives often perpetuated by Euro-American society. Schoolcraft's personal experiences and commitment to preserving Native American heritage profoundly informed his writings, making him a pivotal voice in the portrayal of Indigenous life. This seminal work is recommended for readers who seek a deeper understanding of America's Indigenous peoples beyond the surface of popular stereotypes. "The American Indians" serves not only as a critical historical document but also as a testament to the resilience and richness of Native cultures. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find value in Schoolcraft's insightful observations and dedication to cultural authenticity.

    Beauty is a feeling. 
Had we not looked at the rose would it have been beautiful? 
Had the name of rose not been rose but instead it would have been something else then would we have loved it? 
Nothing matters with the name. 
If we look at the rose and say it's beautiful then it becomes beautiful. 
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. 
Whatever creates happiness in our mind that is beautiful. 
All the feelings are being controlled by hormones. So, the feeling of beauty, form, flavour, fragrance, touch, music every feeling is the creation of hormones. In one word we can say everything is illusion.
