Indigenous American travellers in Europe

Published: Jan. 19, 2023, midnight

When we think about the first encounters between Europe and the Americas, we\u2019ve traditionally imagined a one-sided story of \u201cOld world\u201d Europeans voyaging to the \u201cNew World\u201d of the Americas. But what about the reverse? Caroline Dodds Pennock discusses her book On Savage Shores, which explores the stories of indigenous Americans who journeyed to Europe following Columbus\u2019s 1492 voyage. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, she explores the varied experiences of indigenous Americans in Europe \u2013 from enslavement and abuse to diplomacy and family ties. \n \n(Ad) Caroline Dodds Pennock is the author of On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe (Orion, 2023).
