EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, specifically Raleigh's Colony in North Carolina. The image showcases a Native American shaman, known as "The Flyer" engaging in a sacred ceremony. Hand-colored and reproduced from an original John White illustration, this vintage woodcut transports us to a significant moment in American history. The shaman stands proudly adorned with an intricate head dress, symbolizing his spiritual authority within the Cherokee tribe. As he dances gracefully under the Eastern sun, we witness the power of ancient rituals that have been passed down through generations. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans living in what would later become Virginia Colony. It serves as a testament to their deep connection with nature and their profound religious beliefs. As we observe this mesmerizing scene, it is impossible not to feel transported by its beauty and historical significance. This artwork reminds us of our shared past and encourages us to honor and respect the traditions of indigenous peoples who have shaped our nation's identity. Let this image serve as a reminder that beneath modern cities lie stories waiting to be discovered – stories like those captured by John White centuries ago – reminding us of the vibrant tapestry that makes up North America's diverse history.
