Description
The scene shows members of a Timucua tribe fishing and gathering food at the mouth of a river. A young woman turns to discover a fish has fallen from her basket, and she sees a crab scrambling to escape. She smiles, admiring its will to survive. Her respect is great because she believes her ancestors live in the smallest of creatures. The woman does not notice the Spanish ship far off on the horizon-a strange new sight that has alarmed her companions. And she does not realize that this ship brings with it an end to her way of life.
Sitting on the frame of the painting are fossils and artifacts representing several prehistoric Florida cultures. Near the center is a map, originally drawn by the French artist and explorer Jacques le Moyne in 1564, documenting many of the tribes he had seen or heard of in this "new land".
