This piece was created by British artist George Heriot, who lived in Canada between 1792 and 1796. It shows “domiciled Indians.” At the time, this term referred to Indigenous people who had been converted to Catholicism and taken up residence in a missionary settlement. Their clothing is that of the Huron-Wendat Nation of Jeune-Lorette (Wendake), near Québec City.
