画Lopenzina
A common historical myth is that Native Americans were an "oral people" and did not communicate via the written word. In his new book, "Red Ink: Native Americans Picking Up the Pen in the Colonial Period,德鲁·洛彭吉娜, assistant professor of English at Old Dominion University, argues that Native Americans early on acquired the skills of reading and writing.
