EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back in time to the 17th century, showcasing Native American longhouses on Manhattan Island before Dutch settlers arrived. The intricate details of this vintage illustration offer a glimpse into the daily life and rich history of the indigenous people who once inhabited this land. The image depicts a vibrant village scene, with several longhouses standing tall against the backdrop of New York City's iconic skyline. These traditional dwellings were essential shelters for Native Americans, providing warmth and protection from the elements. As we explore this artwork further, we can imagine families gathering inside these lodges, engaging in various activities that shaped their culture and traditions. The presence of the Hudson River reminds us of the strategic location where these longhouses were built by tribes such as Iroquois Confederacy and Lenai Lenape. This area served as an important hub for trade and communication among different Native American nations. Through this art piece, we are transported to a time when North America was still untouched by European colonization. It serves as a reminder of the deep connection between indigenous communities and their ancestral lands. Let us appreciate their heritage while acknowledging their resilience in preserving their way of life amidst significant changes brought about by history.
