Tour the real America
In the
popular American imagination, the West opened up when Lewis and Clark first
entered the region and began recording what they encountered. From that point
on, in the common (mis)conception, the West is a history of expansion, of
American culture spreading out over a blank canvas. For the native people who
lived in those enormous tracts of North America, the
story is quite different, of course.
The natives covered a broad survey of many peoples over a wide geographic area and the
span of many centuries. History acknowledges that such an all-encompassing approach
is inherently incomplete. Yet, in my mind,it does a tremendous job equipping us with the tools needed to reformulate perceptions of the West. Anyone
laboring under the misapprehension that the subjugation of the West was a
continuous progress at the expense of feeble Indian peoples should read about the Pueblo Revolt. That “first American revolution” was plotted like
a back-room coup, by chiefs and medicine men with the political acumen
necessary to harness the discontent of a widely disseminated population. It
lasted nearly twenty years, and resulted in major changes within the colonial
government of New Spain.
