Thomas Hariot was an English astronomer, mathematician,
ethnographer, and translator. After studying at Oxford he traveled
to America for Sir Walter Raleigh. A Briefe and True Report of the
New Found Land of Virginia was written around 1587. This early
account of the Native Americans in the area had a huge influence on
later explorers and colonists. . Hariot wrote: "Whereby it may be
hoped, if means of good government be used, that they may in short
time be brought to civility and the embracing of true religion."
His views in this account concerning the ability of Native
Americans to learn and work were later ignored in favor of the
sections on minerals and natural resources.
