Who were the Beothuk Indians?
The most interesting of all the Indians. Beothuk lived in what is today Newfoundland. They were always few in number and like most groups under constant threat of genocide, mainly it appears from fellow Indians, the Micmac. North America has seen many such genocides but the Beothuks were the first to become extinct after the arrival of the Europeans. As such their demise is blamed on Europeans. Being extinct makes them interesting, but in that they are not alone. Many North American Aboriginal groups are today extinct, it was the nature of war under which most lived most of the time. What makes the Beothuk interesting is the role of Europeans in purging Beothuks from Newfoundland. Beothuks survived their first encounter with Europeans rather well. They drove off the Vikings who settled in Newfoundland around 1002AD. Unfortunately that did not help them when other Europeans returned 500 years later. Beothuks found themselves battling the French and their traditional enemies the Micmacs only this time their enemies had firearms. Although the French and later the English had issued orders to avoid slaughtering of the Beothuks the Micmacs were not bound by any Royal Orders and massacres were all too common. Eventually the massacres stopped but only because the tribe had been so depopulated by war and disease that they no longer lived their traditional life. The age of the Beothuk in Newfoundland officially ended with the death of the last known Beothuk in 1829, though there were later sightings. Some interesting facts: They were the first North American Indians to meet Europeans around 1002AD. Their use of Red Ocher, made from iron deposits, lead to the term Red Indians. They would cover themselves in red ocher and they preferred red cloth which was one of the earliest trade items used by the Vikings. They were very European in appearance. Beothuks, taken as slaves, were dressed in European clothes and introduced in King Henry's VII court blending in well until it was pointed out they were savages. The guilt some feel about their extinction is being used to political advantage by their traditional enemies. Something the Beothuk would no doubt be offended by but they have no voice in todays politics. Although many in North America claim Beothuk connections the only group alive today with Beothuk DNA is in Iceland, not Canada.
