Dan was an almost perfect employee. He was
always at his desk, came in early ...stayed
late.
He said he was "throwing himself into work. I
realized he was gambling, that he had stolen
almost $300,000 from us."
The early history of Indian-white relations in
the U.S. differed in several important ways from
the
South African case. First, early European
colonists were from the beginning settlers and
agriculturists,
while European-tribal relations were
characterized by conflicts over land rather than
labor as settlers
migrated westward into the continent’s interior
(Anderson 1995; Wunder 1994: ch2; Cornell 1988:
ch. 3).
So while as in South Africa the white government
created a reservation system to house indigenous
9
people, it was here more a tool of exclusion and
seclusion than utilization and exploitation
(Ross 1981 in
Lamar and Thompson; Frederickson 1981 Second,
while the initial expropriation of Indians from
their
lands was supported by an intense ideology of
racism (Weyler 1982;), by the late nineteenth
and twentieth
centuries their numbers had so dwindled relative
to whites (due to epidemics, episodes of warfare
and
genocide) and their sequestering in reservations
had been so complete, that the typical white in
North
America was increasingly unlikely to have actual
contact with Indians. “When the Indian ceased to
be a
military threat…he became an exotic type, no
longer likely to be encountered directly”
(Frederickson
1981: 39).
