Abstract
The Euroamericans who encountered late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Arikara communities were explorers and fur traders. The results of these encounters were mixed; some positive, many negative. Whether positive or negative, they expressed the Eurocentrism prevalent at the time. Unfortunately, this Eurocentrism continues to infect contemporary versions of Arikara history. This bias must be removed and historic Arikara customs, standards, and beliefs understood, before the Arikara role in American history can be accurately evaluated. In pursuit of this aim I will examine accounts of early Arikara/Euroamerican contacts from an anthropological and Arikara motivated perspective.
