The second document is written by Dee Brown and is an extract from “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee”.

The introductory title is worth being analyze, since it conveys a different point of view about the reason why english people that considered themselves puritan and persecuted moved to North America.

Suffice is to say that the extract is part of a text published in 1971, that is much later in time than the actual experience. Speaking about “An Indian History of the American West” implies taking into considerations a different historic angle from what was generally accepted. Indian history implies that now events and facts are told by descendants of native Indian people, the ones that were living in North America when the separatists first, and the pilgrims settled the land.

The text is indeed a research report, and therefore worth to be considered, also because it takes into considerations a multiplicity view points.

The text starts making it clear that the survival of the pilgrims that arrived in America by the Mayflower was mainly due to the welcome attitude of the natives. The text also provides the reader with information about the kind of support provided by the Indians, they not only helped the English to survive after a dangerous voyage, they also gave them different kind of advice to grow agricultural product for their autonomy survival, such as “how to catch fish”, gave them “some seeds corn” and “showed them how to plant and cultivate it”.

The function of the first sequence is therefore a clear denial negation of all that said in William Bradford's History of Plymouth Plantation 1650-1651.

More than three centuries were necessary for the Indians' voice, through their descendants could be heard.

The second sequence informs the reader that after a first period of calm and peaceful coexistence and life on the lands of North America, a second period followed during which a larger and larger number of colonists arrived in America and called for materials and land to beginning to them, according to which in 1625 Samoset through a ritual ceremony and belonged to their civilization transferred part of their land to the white newcomers, such resort urates the general idea about the pilgrims' voyage, since it implies that there were more immigrants looking for a better life than the possibility to profess simply their puritan religion.
