Great Native Procession, in New York, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Great Native Procession, in New York, 1844. Demonstration of riders with banners - one decorated with feathers reads: We have ruled and will again!. In the background a model ship explodes....a procession of the Native American Party...six or eight men attired fantastically as Indian warriors, all mounted. Then came their banners and some flags, which were somewhat remarkable...The procession was orderly and decorous in their march; but when the procession had reached Second-street, near avenue A, and the gunner was in the act of firing a salute from the Miniature Ship, carried among the banners, &c. the powder-magazine exploded, carried away a large piece out of the side of the vessel, and shattered several windows in the vicinity. We regret to learn that two or three boys were severely hurt by the catastrophe. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Great Native Procession that took place in New York City in 1844. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but their ability to freeze a moment in time is undeniable. The procession showcases the Native American Party, with six or eight men dressed as Indian warriors mounted on horses. They proudly march through the streets, carrying banners and flags that bear significant messages. One banner adorned with feathers boldly proclaims, "We have ruled and will again!". This statement reflects their determination to reclaim power and influence. However, tragedy strikes when a model ship used for demonstration purposes explodes unexpectedly. The blast tears apart a section of the vessel and shatters nearby windows. Regrettably, several boys are severely injured by this unforeseen catastrophe. Despite this unfortunate incident, the procession itself is described as orderly and decorous until reaching Second Street near Avenue A. It is evident from this photograph that these indigenous people were determined to make their voices heard through peaceful protest. This engraving was featured in the Illustrated London News in 1844, providing readers across Britain with an insight into American politics during the 19th century. It serves as a poignant reminder of both historical events and ongoing struggles faced by native communities throughout history.
