EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative handcoloured copperplate engraving by Sasso, published in Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World in 1837, we see a Native American making an offering at a shrine dedicated to the Powhatan god Okeus, also known as Okee, in the colonial region of Virginia, USA. The Powhatan people were one of the largest Native American confederacies in the Tidewater region of Virginia and Maryland. The Native American figure is depicted with great respect and reverence as he approaches the shrine, a simple yet sacred structure adorned with natural elements such as leaves, branches, and feathers. He carries a bowl or vessel filled with what appears to be corn or other offerings, which he places on the altar before the statue of Okeus. The god is represented as a powerful, regal figure, with a headdress of feathers and a serene expression. The fire of the offering is reflected in the still waters behind the shrine, adding an element of mystery and otherworldliness to the scene. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions and spiritual practices of the Powhatan people, who lived in harmony with nature and honoured their gods through offerings and rituals. The engraving also reveals the artistic skill and detail of Sasso and Ferrario, who captured the essence of this Native American scene with sensitivity and respect. Overall, this image serves as a reminder of the diverse and complex history of the Americas, and the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions of indigenous peoples.
