EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1607, the fortified Onondaga Village of the Iroquois Confederacy comes under attack from French explorer Samuel de Champlain and a contingent of Huron soldiers. The village, surrounded by walls and protected by the natural barrier of a river, is seen here in a state of defensive readiness. On the left, Champlain and his men advance with muskets at the ready, their determined faces set on breaching the village defenses. However, they are brought to a halt by the river that encircles the settlement, creating a formidable obstacle that thwarts their progress. On the right, Onondaga warriors respond with a hail of arrows, their faces painted with the intricate designs that were a hallmark of Iroquois culture. In the foreground, another Onondaga soldier stokes a fire to create a smokescreen, adding to the chaos and confusion on the battlefield. The smoke rises above the trees, obscuring the vision of the attacking forces and providing cover for the village's defenders. This pivotal moment in the history of the New World marks the first recorded encounter between the Iroquois and Europeans in the region that is now upstate New York. The battle ultimately ended in a stalemate, with neither side able to claim a decisive victory. Despite this, the encounter marked the beginning of a long and complex relationship between the Iroquois and European powers, one that would shape the course of history in North America for centuries to come.
