Secotan Indians Dancing,16th Century

"The Virginian's manner of dancing at their religious festivals." Illustration of Secotan Indians in what is now North Carolina dancing round a circle of wooden posts, on the top of which are carved hooded human faces. Most of the group are wearing fringed apron-skins; their bodies decorated with body paint, and feathers in their hair. They hold twigs and gourd rattles. Three women in the centre are clasped closely together, facing inwards. Illustration by Theodor de Bry after John White, c. 1590. Although de Bry never set foot in the New World himself, he made many copies of watercolors by other artists, often making them look more European. The engravings are some of the earliest, if not necessarily the most accurate, surviving records of the Native Americans of the period.
