Labor and Trade in Colonial America
John White, The Indian Village of Secoton (1585-86)
Annotation
John White was one of the first Englishmen to visit North America, and his artwork captured his impressions of life in what would one day be North and South Carolina. In this illustration, White shows corn cultivation—a female responsibility in many Native communities—and shows men and women engaged in different tasks.
