This print captures a significant moment in Native American history during the age of exploration. In this scene, Florida Native Americans are seen engaged in a solemn ceremony, consecrating the skin of a stag to the sun. The ritual is observed by French soldiers standing on the right side, their presence adding an intriguing cultural juxtaposition. The line engraving, created by Theodor de Bry in 1591 based on Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues' drawing from 1564-65, beautifully depicts the intricate details of this sacred event. The Native Americans can be seen kneeling around a pole adorned with symbols representing their worship of the sun god. They wear traditional attire and accessories such as bracelets and anklets made from buckskin. Meanwhile, the French soldiers stand as spectators to this foreign ritual, possibly witnessing it for the first time. Their halberds and colonial clothing serve as reminders of European influence in this new world encounter. This image offers us a glimpse into both indigenous spirituality and early colonization efforts in South East America. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures coexisted during this period while showcasing the rich diversity that existed within Native American tribes. Overall, "Native American Ceremony" invites viewers to reflect upon historical encounters between different civilizations and raises questions about cultural exchange and understanding during times of exploration.
