The Representation of Native Americans in “The Indians of Texas in 1830,” By Jean Louis Berlandier

Sergio Arribas Jiménez analyzed Jean Louis Berlandier's representation of Native Americans in Texas in his 1830 ethnographic work "The Indians of Texas in 1830." He believes that Berlandier's depictions were heavily influenced by 18th and 19th-century travel literature, reflecting European notions of civilization and barbarism.
