Summary "Report of Mr. W. E. Cormack's journey in search of the Red Indians in Newfoundland" is a historical account authored by W.E. Cormack, likely written in the early 19th century. This report details the expedition undertaken by Cormack and his group, aiming to locate and document the lives of the Boeothick, or Red Indians, an indigenous tribe in Newfoundland. The work captures the interplay between the indigenous peoples and the encroaching European settlers, as well as the natural environment of Newfoundland during this period. In this narrative, Cormack recounts the difficulties faced during the expedition, including challenging terrain and harsh weather conditions, as well as the poignant discovery of the abandoned encampments of the Red Indians. He details finding various remnants of their culture, such as winter wigwams, burial sites, and deer fences used for hunting. Throughout the journey, Cormack reflects on the profound impact of European colonization on the native populations, revealing the tragic decline of the tribe's numbers and their traditional way of life. Ultimately, this report serves as a valuable historical document, highlighting the cultural heritage of the Boeothick people and the importance of preserving their stories amidst a backdrop of extinction and loss.
