"Report of Mr. W. E. Cormack's journey in search of the Red Indians in Newfoundland" by W. E. (William Eppes) Cormack, tells the story of an expedition to find and learn about the Boeothick, also known as the Red Indians, who were native to Newfoundland. The report shares the struggles faced by the group during their journey, including tough landscapes and bad weather, as well as the sadness of finding empty camps of the Red Indians. It shows what was left of their culture like winter homes, graveyards, and hunting tools, telling about the big effects of European settlement on the native people. This is especially shown through the tribe's quick loss in numbers and their traditional ways of life. This report helps us to see the importance of keeping the Boeothick people's stories alive in a time of huge loss and disappearing culture.
