Walam Olum as Authentic Text… • 1840’s: Educated Indian Chief George Copway declared the text authentic in signs, dialect, and ideas and conceptions • Respectable anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians upheld authenticity • Lenape tribe used birch bark scrolls • C. Rafinesque was a scientist
