EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Iroquois Nations map from the 1600s. Created by French cartographers, this illustration beautifully depicts the homeland of the Five Iroquois Nations and Fort Orange (present-day Albany) in the 1660s. The intricate details of this vintage artwork transport us back to a time when Native American tribes thrived in what is now New York State. The map highlights the eastern region of North America, where these indigenous communities resided for centuries. The Iroquois Confederacy, also known as Haudenosaunee or "People of the Longhouse" consisted of five powerful nations: Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Mohawk. This visual representation provides valuable insight into their interconnected territories and settlements. Lake Ontario serves as a prominent feature on this map, emphasizing its significance as a vital waterway for trade and transportation among these nations. It's fascinating to observe how each tribe had its own distinct village within their shared territory. As we gaze upon this historic document, we gain a deeper appreciation for the rich heritage and cultural legacy that shaped early America. Through artful strokes and vibrant colors, this illustration immortalizes an era when Native Americans lived harmoniously with nature while forging strong alliances within their confederacy.
