EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of Native Americans in colonial Virginia. The image portrays a revered figure, a Shaman or Medicine-man, who played an integral role in the spiritual and cultural life of his people. As we delve into this vintage illustration by John White, we are transported to the eastern coast of Virginia and North Carolina. It is here that Raleigh's Colony had set foot during the 1500s, observing and documenting encounters with indigenous communities. The Shaman depicted in this artwork represents a fusion of history and religion. With deep roots in Cherokee traditions, he embodies centuries-old practices that were passed down through generations. His presence evokes a sense of reverence and respect for nature as well as ancestral wisdom. This image serves as a powerful reminder of America's diverse past, showcasing the intricate tapestry woven by native cultures across North America. It invites us to reflect on their contributions while acknowledging their struggles against colonization. Through art like this woodcut print, we can honor these resilient individuals who shaped our nation's history. Their stories deserve recognition beyond mere commercial use; they should be celebrated for their significant impact on American society and cherished as an essential part of our collective identity.
