Scenes from the Eastern Woodlands
A Virtual Tour ~ Circa 1550
Where would you like to go?
At our homestead ... you will see a bark covered dwelling with a field of maize, beans and squash in the background, and a hearth with ceramic and birchbark cooking vessels. The man holds a soapstone bear-effigy pipe and a fox-effigy ball headed club. The man wears porcupine quilled bracelets, knife sheath, knee garters, and moccasins. He also wears a wampum headband and earrings, and carries a wooden drinking cup and animal-skin bag at his waist. The woman, who stands near the wooden mortar and grinding pestle, wears a painted deer skin tunic, skirt and leggings as she fills a woven bag with supplies. |
