I noted Spanish accounts because they are popularly available. The de Soto journals are for example widely available in print. The Lewis and Clarke expedition has gotten a tremendous amount of attention lately and you cant help but have one smack you in the head any time you walk into Barnes and Noble. ;) All of what I have said can be reinforced by archaeological, linguistic, and forensic research on the history of native populations. The history of the Inca and Aztec for example, is all but complete in archaeological research, which corroberates Spanish accounts (many of which were written by Jesuit and Franciscans. The Church took an early interest in recording native history and lifeways). As to the textbooks and research articles and monographs that I studied in college, not all of them were white guys. I dont think any university professorship these days in monopolized by white boys! ;) And these were professionals, it is their job to uncover facts and synthesize them into knowledge. The days of 19th century armchair anthropology along the lines of Spencer is long past.
