"The boatman pictured in the stern wears Native moccasins, leggings, and a shoulder pouch, and likely represents an Indigenous member of Washington's troops. Native American warriors fought, often decisively, on both sides of the war—British and American—according to their nation's interest. ⁣⁣

In 1778 the United States signed a treaty with the Lenape (Delaware), its first formal treaty with an Indigenous nation, securing assistance and safe passage through Delaware land in exchange for 'articles of clothing, utensils, and implements of war.' ⁣⁣

The treaty recognized Delaware sovereignty, guaranteed territorial rights, and offered the possibility of Indigenous statehood. But soon a (double) crossing of the Delaware took place: persistent treaty violations by settlers and the US government culminated in the 1782 Gnadenhütten Massacre, in which a Pennsylvania militia killed ninety-six defenseless Christian Lenape. Virtually all of America's Indigenous allies suffered similar fates."⁣⁣

"George Washington Crossing the Delaware" is one of the most iconic works of art in The Met collection, bolstering the mythology behind our nation's first president ever since its creation in 1851 by Emanuel Leutze, a German-born American immigrant.⁣

But the painting tells a one-sided story. ⁣⁣

The Parrish Art Museum had a great lecture on the artist William Merrit Chase and his connection to the Shinnecock Nation in the 1800s. Can check it out on their website ⠀⠀https://buff.ly/2R9cmaq⠀⠀Reposted from @preservationlongisland (@get_regrann) – Next time you’re wandering around the @metamericanwing, be sure to read the new “Native Perspective” labels installed throughout the paintings galleries. Here Shinnecock artist @jeremynative provides a new important perspective on William Merritt Chase’s “At the Seaside”, ca. 1892, explaining: “This artwork depicts a leisurely beach scene painted one year after Chase opened a school of art near the Shinnecock Indian Reservation on Long Island’s East End. This land is situated on the Shinnecock People’s ancestral territory—of which more than 4,422 acres was stolen through an illegal transaction in 1859.” #history #longisland #perspectives #nativeamericanhistory #shinnecock #art #newperspective #nativeperspectives #metmuseum #eastend – #regrann
