This hand-colored woodcut print showcases the rich cultural heritage of various New York tribes. The totems depicted in this 19th-century illustration represent the deep connection between these indigenous communities and their natural surroundings. Each symbol holds significant meaning, reflecting the spiritual beliefs and values of these tribes. The bear, known for its strength and wisdom, stands tall among the other totems. It represents power and protection within Native American culture. The wolf embodies loyalty and teamwork, reminding us of the importance of unity in community life. The turtle signifies longevity and resilience, teaching us patience and grounding. The deer symbolizes gracefulness and gentleness while also representing a connection with nature's cycles. Lastly, we have the beaver; an industrious creature that reminds us of hard work, resourcefulness, and adaptability. These intricate illustrations serve as a window into history—a testament to the vibrant traditions of Eastern Native American tribes such as Iroquois Confederacy or Six Nations.
