This engraving, based on one of John White's famous watercolors, 
depicts the Indian village of Secota. Secota was located on the 
Pamlico River in what is now North Carolina. In the upper right-hand 
corner, an Indian watchman sits on a platform to drive bird away 
from a field of ripe corn. In the upper left-hand corner, Indians hunt 
deer with bows and arrows. In the center of the picture are the 
Indian dwellings-wooden frames covered with mats of bark or 
rushes. The notes that accompany the engraving state that the 
Indians "live happily together without envy or greed."
