A historical pageant photographed by Frances and Mary Allen shows Deerfield, Massachusetts’ most infamous and repeated story, the 1704 raid, when French and Native American forces attacked the town, taking 111 captives to Canada. One of the best known captives was Eunice Williams, the minister’s daughter, who was adopted into a Kanien’kehaka (Mohawk) family with whom she chose to remain for the rest of her life. She is portrayed here with her Kanien’kehaka captor. The darkly painted face on the captor contrasts sharply with the white Puritan cap and innocent face of little “Eunice,” drawing a firm symbolic line between the sinister “savage” and the helpless child.  This image of the Indigenous man is stereotypical and is considered offensive today.
