Historical Handshake Between Native American and Pilgrim - Symbol of Early Alliance #2322260 (License: Personal Use)

This line drawing captures a moment of diplomatic engagement between a Native American figure-wearing a feathered headdress, fringed tunic, and moccasins-and a Pilgrim man in traditional 1620s attire, including a wide-brimmed hat, doublet, breeches, and buckled shoes. The gesture symbolizes the initial alliance and mutual aid between Indigenous peoples and European settlers, notably during the founding of Plymouth Colony. Though stylized, the image reflects historical narratives of cooperation such as the 1621 treaty between the Wampanoag and Pilgrims.
