EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the c17th century, offering a glimpse into the complex dynamics of early American history. The image showcases a group of Native Americans, both men and women, who have undergone conversion to Christianity. Dressed in traditional attire yet influenced by their newfound faith, they stand as symbols of cultural assimilation and religious conflict. The engraving captures the momentous arrival of Christianity on American soil during the era of colonization. It raises questions about the impact this new religion had on indigenous communities and their way of life. The individuals depicted here represent a pivotal period when Native Americans grappled with embracing foreign beliefs while preserving their own traditions. The photographer's lens transports us to an unspecified location within what would later become known as the United States of America. Through this historical snapshot, we witness how these converted Native Americans navigated between two worlds - honoring their ancestral heritage while adopting aspects of Western culture. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image from Cassells History of the United States, we are reminded that history is not simply black and white; it is a tapestry woven with diverse perspectives and experiences. This print serves as a testament to our shared human journey - one marked by exploration, conquests, conflicts, conversions, and ultimately shaping the nation we know today.
