Description
HURON FEAST OF THE DEAD. 18th century French engraving inaccurately depicting the Hurons celebrating their 'Feast of the Dead.' The engraving depicts whole corpses being carried to the site and skeletons hanging from a scaffold, when in fact, the bones of the deceased were wrapped and carried in beaver hide.
