Excerpt from American Negroes: A Handbook A hardy, colorful race of Indians had lived on this continent for thousands of years before any of the present peoples came. While the early relations between European settlers and native Indians were turbulent and bloody, Indians have contributed one of the brightest strands in the American tradition. Vain moderns should remember that the only 100 per cent Americans are red men who were building happy and satisfying lives on this continent when the ancestors of many of us were crude nomads roaming the forests of Britain and Gaul. During the past four hundred years the native Indians have been outnumbered and almost submerged by the great streams of people who have poured in from every land, having in common only their zest for freedom, their search for fresh Opportunities. Spanish conquerors and priests, French and Dutch traders, and the great tides of English colonists were followed by people from every country of Europe: Irish, Germans, Italians, Scandinavians, Russians, Poles, Czechs, Serbs, Greeks.
