EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the attack on an Onondaga village in 1615 by Samuel de Champlain, the renowned French explorer and founder of Canada. The image transports us back to a time when Native American tribes like the Onondaga, who spoke the Iroquoian language, inhabited villages made of bark and wood longhouses. Situated in what is now New York, these settlements were home to closely-knit families. In this scene frozen in time, we witness the clash between European exploration and indigenous cultures. Champlain's expedition marked one of many encounters that shaped early America. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the complex interactions between different civilizations during this era. The photographer from Universal Images Group (UIG) has skillfully captured both the beauty and tragedy within this historical event. The composition draws our attention to details such as traditional dwellings engulfed in flames while brave warriors defend their homes against foreign invaders. As we reflect upon this image, it prompts us to contemplate not only past conflicts but also how they continue to shape our present-day society. It encourages us to appreciate and learn from diverse cultures while acknowledging the impact that colonization had on native communities across North America.
