“The Dynamic Character of Impressions Regarding the Life and Person of Thomas ‘Indian’ Warner,” is an analysis of the “The Case of ‘Indian’ Warner,” a part of the wider anthology Wild Majesty: Encounters With Caribs from Columbus to the Present Day by Peter Hulme and Neil Whitehead. This analysis looks to understand how the mixed Kalinago Dominican*/British heritage of Antiguan-born Thomas ‘Indian’ Warner was manipulated by European powers to serve their colonial pursuits whilst maintaining positive imperial/indigenous relations in the Lesser Antilles. The analysis also explores abuses of indigenous populations in the Greater Antilles by Spanish colonizers known as conquistadores.
