You may wonder why that many Anthropologist agree that these graphic images are better than 250 years old, it has to do with a war fought between the English and the French. That war was fought here in north America. It is the French and Indian War that was fought from 1754-1763. The French had claimed what is now Canada and the Mississippi river valley.
I will not go into any explanation of the war, you can read about that in the library! Instead I would like to point out that the French Nation has done more to create and preserve all art than any other nation on earth. The relationship between the French and the indigenous American people was one of love and mutual respect. The french supplied metal tools and other necessities, and the Indians provided skill and stamina. Today we see how important that the French influence was, and how it continues to be a great asset to the country and the nation.
