Benjamin Franklin begins his Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America that the Indians are considered savages only because they have different customs, culture, language, in a word, their ways are different from the way of Americans, which they consider to be perfect, as the Indians think the same of their own. Indians have their own way and system of life, while young are warriors and hunters, when they are old they are advisors, their government is made up of a wise counselor. On the offer by Americans to teach their young men in college, the Indians respond with courtesy and gratitude, because it is the manner of the Indians. With all thanks, they refuse the offer, since so educated Indian youths do not serve anything when the Indian way of life is at stake. They are not good hunters, warriors, become mollusks, they can not build a wigwam, to catch a deer. Indians say they are aware of the effort the Americans would invest in educating young Indians and wanting them to do good. And in appreciation, they want Americans to send their children to the Indians to teach them how to become warriors hunters, and will make people from them. From all this, Franklin points out that the Indians are not inferior, on the contrary they have high codes of conduct, value systems, and do not despise others, express gratitude and are wise in making decisions.
