Fitzhugh Williams	Posted - May 22 2007 : 08:45:59 AM Qkwaho, I see you have been hanging around with the Seneca of Ganondagan, and you a Christian Caughnawaga. It looked like a good event. We have a 17th century site in South Carolina, but nothing much happens there. I do keep hoping, though.
Okwaho	Posted - May 21 2007 : 2:52:45 PM Actually the first account of the coastal Indians of Virginia was Thomas Harriot's "Briefe and true report of the land of Virginia" published in 1588 after earlier explorations by Raleigh and others. No drawings were included in Harriot's modest four quarto book but Theodore de Bry's folio edition,"THE TRVE PICTVRES AND FASHIONS OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT PARTE OF AMERICA NOVV CALLED VIRGINIA" published in 1590 incorporated the White drawings. "Thomas Harriot A Briefe Report Of The New Found Land Of Virginia" with the complete 1590 Theodor de Bry edition with a new introduction by Paul Hulton,Dover Publications 1972. The White drawings did not depict the Monacan Indians who along with other Siouan language pattern tribes the Saponi,Tutelos and others were inhabitants of the James river basin in what is now Amherst and Bedford Counties near present day Lynchburg. Rather White depicted tidewater Indians near the Chesapeake Bay probably under the control of Powhatan. "The History and Present State of Virginia" {1705}by Robert Beverly who lived in King and Queen County,Virginia,Northeast of Richmond also incorporated some of the White drawings illustrated by De Bry.The White drawings illustrated by Beverly consisted of fourteen engravings signed by Simon Gribelin who adapted them from De Bry's 1590 book which had used the original drawings done by John White who went out with Raleigh's colonists in 1585 considerably earlier than the discovery of the Monacans by Virginia colonists in 1607 under the command of Captain John Smith.

RedFraggle	Posted - March 16 2007 : 07:52:57 AM Interesting that the drawings weren't published until the 20th century, even though they were made in the late 1500's! I wonder if/how they would have changed perception of native Americans if they had been published at the time John White drew them?
