EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the last of the nomadic Charrua people in Uruguay in 1833, just two years after they were exterminated by Spanish colonizers. In the center stands Senacua Senaque, the medicine man of the tribe, possibly enjoying a moment of respite with a cup of yerba mate tea. To his right is Vaimaca-Piru Sira, a fierce warrior armed with a bow and arrow, ready to defend his people until their tragic end.
On the other side of Senacua are Laureano Tacuave Martinez and Maria Micaela Guyunusa, a young couple who represent hope for the future that was never realized. Their faces reflect both resilience and sorrow as they stand on the brink of extinction.
The hand-colored lithograph by J. Bull from James Cowles Prichard's Natural History of Man provides a glimpse into this lost world, preserving their memory for generations to come. The intricate details and expressions captured in this print serve as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact colonization had on indigenous peoples around the world.
As we gaze upon these faces frozen in time, let us remember and honor the Charrua people and all those who have been unjustly erased from history. May we learn from their story and strive towards a more equitable future for all cultures and communities.
