Colonial Choices
Thayendanegea

EMMA GOBLE

I chose this portrait because it was interesting. I also liked it because it was detailed. It is a portrait of an Indian so I think it tells you what clothes they wore, what they looked like. I think it was used as a picture to hang up. Maybe they used it to remind people of him. We studied about the Indians. We learned what they lived in. We learned about slavery down south. We did African plays and stuff like African models.
