• DESCRIPTION: This engraving by T. Doney likely depicts the historic meeting between British General John Burgoyne and his Native American allies, most probably Mohawk or other members of the Iroquois Confederacy. During the American Revolution, many Indigenous tribes, particularly those of the Iroquois League, allied with the British in hopes of protecting their lands from encroaching American settlers. The scene represents the complex and often precarious diplomacy of the time, as British commanders sought to enlist Native support while managing delicate cultural and political negotiations.
