To the Point: Learning more about the 'First Peoples' on American soil

To the Point: Learning more about the 'First Peoples' on American soil
Friday, November 20, 2009

To help recognize November as Native American Heritage Month, Penn State Live posed a few questions to A. Gregg Roeber, professor of early modern history and religious studies at Penn State and co-director of the Max Kade German-American Research Institute. In 2008 Roeber edited the book "Ethnographies and Exchanges: Native Americans, Moravians and Catholics in Early North America," published by Penn State Press. It was inspired by an international conference the institute hosted on the occasion of the English translation and publication of the Diaries of David Ziesberger, one of the first Moravian German-speaking missionaries and ethnographic observers of the Lenape.

Roeber's book examines the diaries, letters and journals of early European missionaries settling in America who survived only because of the help of Native American groups. These writings are valuable resources for recovering information about the religions, cultures and political makeup of the "First Peoples." (more)
