Secotan, Algonquin Village, North Carolina,1585

Watercolor by John White of an Algonquin village called Secotan on the Pamilco River estuary in what is now North Carolina, showing indigenous structures, agriculture, and spiritual life, 1585. John White (c. 1540 – c. 1593) was an English colonial governor, explorer, artist, and cartographer. White was among those who sailed with Richard Grenville in the first attempt to colonize Roanoke Island in 1585, acting as artist and mapmaker to the expedition. He would most famously briefly serve as the governor of the second attempt to found Roanoke Colony on the same island in 1587 and discover the colonists had mysteriously vanished.
