Free Thinking: First Encounters

How should we mark anniversaries like the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers in America or of Cortés and European settlers in Mexico? Is this a "first encounter" - and how do you decipher history when there isn't anything written down? Claudia Rogers compares her researches into Mexican history with Nandini Das, who has been re-reading the accounts written by John Rolfe of his marriage to Pocahontas and looking at what we gain when we flip the narrative and see from the point of view of indigenous people.
