Savages

In this activity we defined savage and savagery, defining respectively as "A member of a people regarded as primitive or uncivilized." and "The condition of being primitive or uncivilized"

Textbook reference

The fact that in the definition savagery is called a condition is terrible, if you haven't been educated or raised in a certain way, that does not make you sick or weird, it just means you weren't raised the same. Indians were described by whites as tall, straight and well formed. Their skin was cinnamon or copper brown, reddish hue, coarse black hair, small snakey eyes, they sometimes painted their faces and bodies with hideous devices. Also they recognize that they are Native Americans, and still call them Indians, but usually they don't even have the decency to do that, in this old textbook they are usually referred to as "savages". If this was my textbook, and they only source of information I had, I would think Indians were crazy people, I would believe that they were savages that just attack everything they see, but luckily I have greater, less biased, sources of information.
