[Tupinambá people attack a European settlement and rowboats]
-
Description
-
The European settlement under attack is comprised of several long structures and cannons surrounded by a fence and a group of European men stands at the center aiming guns and firing cannons out towards the Tupinambá. The Tupinambá surround the village and aim bows and arrows over the fence towards the European men. On either side of the European settlement there is a Tupinambá camp, each featuring a large fire with a wooden frame placed over it at the center and several hammocks, all surrounded by thick poles arranged in a circle. Fish and human limbs have been set on the wooden frames over the fires to cook. Two rowboats full of European men are making their way up the channel towards the settlement, with the Tupinambá trying to prevent them from reaching their destination by firing arrows and felling trees to block passage. Several of the Tupinambá wear feathered headdresses and adornments around their waists.
