Thoreau's Focus on Native American Indians to be Revealed at Aspen Seminar
ASPEN, Colo. - May 16 -- 'Why, then, make so great ado about the Roman and the Greek, and neglect the Indian?,' wrote Henry David Thoreau in his Journal in 1857. A missing piece of what shaped this icon and American consciousness will be revealed at a weekend seminar in Aspen, Colorado June 3-5, 2005, entitled 'Thoreau and the Evolution of the American Mind: The Next Step.' Thoreau scholar, Bradley P. Dean, Ph.D., will introduce highlights of Henry's 12 'Indian Notebooks' which includes just under 4,000 manuscript pages, probably to write a book he did not live to publish. They reveal how Thoreau was intrigued by American Indians since his boyhood, and how this involvement influenced his philosophy, according to Native Voices Foundation (NVF).
