EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a powerful bas-relief on a memorial in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The artwork depicts the Duston family valiantly defending themselves against Native American Indians during a historic conflict in the 17th century. Standing tall as a symbol of strength and resilience, this vintage statue showcases an important moment in American history. The scene portrays a male colonist fiercely protecting his family alongside his courageous wife and children. In their traditional attire, they stand united against the backdrop of a menacing Indian raid. A canoe nearby serves as a reminder of the clash between cultures that occurred in Massachusetts in 1697. This sculpture pays homage to Hannah Duston, who became an emblematic figure for her bravery during these turbulent times. Her name is synonymous with courage and survival as she fought off her captors before making her daring escape. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, it transports us back to New England's early days when conflicts between settlers and Amerindians shaped our nation's history. It serves as both a tribute to those who defended their families and an opportunity for reflection on the complex relationships between different cultures throughout North America. With its rich heritage and historical significance, this photograph reminds us of our shared past while encouraging dialogue about unity and understanding among diverse communities today.
