Description: A group of Indigenous Canadians (identified as such by the author) attacks the village of another group. The attackers arrive by canoe, bearing spears, bows and arrows, and torches. Some of them set fires along the shore and in the village. A few individuals on the right flee the fire by running and crawling away in an attempt to avoid the smoke. This image is identical to one found in Frankfurt, 1557.
