When History Is Myth: Genocide and the Transmogrification of American Indians
Colwell-Chanthaphonh, Chip
American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v29 n2 p113 Spr 2005
The genocide of American Indians over the last five centuries is documented by the persecutors in myriad historical media: diaries, audiotapes, autobiographies, photographs, books, essays, and newspaper accounts. Many authors believe that their stories convey an objective reality but scholarship has illustrated that writers construct history more than uncovering it.
