Indigenous Peoples
摘要
When Tocqueville travelled to America, he was influenced by writers such as Fenimore Cooper, who described the life of the indigenous people in his work The Last of the Mohicans (1826), which was translated into French in the same year by Auguste-Jean-Baptiste Defauconpret, and François-René de Chateaubriand, who had published Atala, ou Les Amours de deux sauvages dans le désert (1801), René (1802) and the Indian epic Les Natchez (1826), which contained the two parts of Atala and René.
