This print titled "FIVE NATIONS: MEETING, c1570" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the gathering of Iroquois leaders from the Five Nations - Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca - as they assemble around the revered Huron prophet Deganawidah at its center. This powerful scene depicts the recitation of the laws that would shape the new Iroquois League. The French engraving from the early 18th century beautifully captures this pivotal event in Native American history. We witness these esteemed leaders kneeling and seated on the ground with deep reverence for their traditions and heritage.
