Autorenporträt
John Gottlieb Ernestus Heckewelder (1743-1823) was a Moravian missionary, linguist, and historian known for his extensive work among Native American peoples in the Ohio Country. He was born in Bedford, England, but his life's work would be entwined with the burgeoning American frontier. Heckewelder was sent to America under the auspices of the Moravian Church and devoted his life to missionary work. His dedication to learning the languages and cultures of the Native American tribes, particularly the Delaware (Lenni Lenape), earned him great respect and influenced his seminal work, 'History, Manners and Customs of the Indian Nations' (1819). This book remains a valuable resource for understanding the lifeways of various indigenous communities in the eastern United States during the 18th century. Heckewelder's literary style combines narrative elements drawn from personal experience with ethnographic detail, which provides readers with vivid descriptions and analyses of Native American cultures. His work is notable for its sympathetic perspective towards Native Americans, at a time when many European Americans held prejudiced views. Scholars frequently reference Heckewelder's writings to understand the trans-cultural dynamics of the colonial frontier and to gain insights into the languages and social structures of Native American tribes of the time. Despite his Eurocentric biases, Heckewelder is often lauded for his relatively progressive attitudes and his contributions to preservation of indigenous cultures and languages.
