Iroquois Exhibit: Return of Mohawk Warriors, Sprakers Scene
Additional Details:
| Here are represented some of the customs of the famous Mohawk Indians, noted for their ferocious warfare. A war-party has returned with two prisoners, one of whom has thrown down his burden and is about to be killed. With folded arms he awaits his fate when a clan matron coming up from the village holds forth the ransom wampum, saving his life for a family adoption. The background represents a Mohawk town on the hills south of the Mohawk river at Sprakers station. |
