Against the backdrop of the cultural assimilation and enforced civilization of the Native Americans by the American government in the mid-19th century, William Gilmore Simms has written allegorically on the construction of a multiracial community between the white men and the Native Americans in his historical romance The Cassique of Kiawah. As for the leader of the community, Simms has integrated many then prevailing paradigms of manhood in America and portrayed the chivalric white patrician elite as an embodiment of the planter ideal. The mutual acculturation between the white men and the Native Americans, as a counteract of the enforced cultivation of the Native American people by the American government in the mid-19th century, is a major means of forging the community. By representing the Native American’s adherence to the cultural traditions of themselves, Simms has probed into how to make use of Indianness to enrich the identification construction in the interracial community that he has envisioned.
