The White Indians of Nivaria

"They were virtuous, honest and brave, and the finest qualities of humanity were found united in them; to wit, magnanimity, skill, courage, athletic powers, strength of soul and of body, pride of character, nobleness of demeanor, a smiling physiognomy, an intelligent mind and patriotic devotedness"

With this passage an alert Canary Island poet named Antonio Viana (1604) recorded his sentiments of the Guanche Indians, the natives of Tenerife island who were an indigenous band of Stone-Age troglodytes that also practiced mummification, constructed ceremonial pyramids and were custodians of an ancient spiritual legacy from European pre-history.

An improbable but true story of white natives living in the wilds of 7 rocky volcanic African islands known as the Canaries for several thousand years, one of Western Man's most western outposts of antiquity.

This work is a concise ethnographic study of this subtropical island kingdom and the white Indians who lived there prior to the Spanish invasion in the 15th century. Details of the indigenous white man's world include 13 chapters of hard anthropological science relative to Guanche culture, language, burial, cosmology and origins....and 1 chapter dealing with the Canary Islands as a likely stepping-stone to America by pre-Columbian mariners like the Phoenicians and Sumerians.
