Native American dead chiefs. Copy of a 16th-century artwork of the bodies of dead Algonquian chiefs in a charnel house on Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina,USA. Such chiefs were known as weroances. Nine cadavers are laid out on a raised platform,with an idol ('Kywash') at left. A priest (lower right) is praying for the dead beside a fire. This coloured version of a 1590 engraving by Theodor de Bry was published in 'Travels through Virginia' (1618) by William Strachey. The original was a watercolour by John White who visited the area in 1585. White's artworks are amongst the earliest surviving images of North America
