EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the NATI2A-00036, a hand-colored woodcut reproduction of an illustration found in La Hontan dating back to the 1600s. The image depicts a remarkable totem or tribe-mark representing the Five Iroquois Nations. Steeped in history and symbolism, this vintage artwork offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans in New York and throughout North America. The intricate details of this piece are truly awe-inspiring. The artist masterfully captures the essence of Eastern indigenous tribes with their deep connection to nature and spirituality. A majestic deer stands tall at the center, symbolizing grace and strength, while surrounding it are various other symbolic elements that represent different aspects of Iroquois culture. As we delve into its significance, we uncover not only a visual representation but also a historical narrative. This artwork serves as a reminder of the powerful Iroquois Confederacy – an alliance formed by five Native American nations: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. Their unity created one of North America's most influential political systems. Preserving such artifacts is crucial for understanding our past and appreciating diverse cultures that have shaped our world today. This print allows us to connect with these ancient traditions while honoring the legacy left behind by these extraordinary people
