It’s interesting he seems to praise the Indians construction of their teepees and construction in general but still refers to them as savages. He points at the disadvantages of civilization and having to pay for so many commodities and amenities but still places the “civilized” over the “savage” when he seems to point at many ways the Indians live superiorly with less and less expensively.
