A Mohican Indian from the French and Indian War (also known as the Seven Years' War). The war was fought primarily between the colonies of British America and New France, with both sides supported by military units from their parent countries of Great Britain and France. The French were greatly outnumbered, so they made heavy use of Indian allies. This Indian is on display at Fort Ticonderoga in New York State where large-scale reenactments take place annually.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Makes we wonder what they did to their ears, Doug.
Colorful and you wouldn't call that camouflaged.
Good shot.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I thought it was one of these people that go in for body piercing Good one..R.

Could be even camouflaged - subject to the surroundings ... :)
The ears are kind of signum temporis - only which times :)
Fantastic bit of very interesting information on culture and history.

Very interesting and colorful image Doug. As an European I'm not familiar with the 'Seven Years War', so I searched on the net and have found this very interesting information. One is never too old to learn, isn't it?

This is fine shot Doug. Imagine the terror when you might run up on a warrior painted such as this. He looks really intimidating.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
i agree with Tigs..perfect in everyway. history i already knew but glad you added that to the narrative, truly fasinating stuff to read about. yeah i was wondering about those ears as well, then again with some of the people walking around today it dont surprise me. cant help to think how true the war paint was to the actual thing back then..i guess we can only wonder now. great shot doug!

If at first you dont succeed skydiving isnt for you
It makes him look more fearful - something the maoris in New Zealand used to do. Nice and interesting shot Doug.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
That would frighten the crap out off anyone!...which might be the reason for the face make-up?...
The ear-hole might be sign to show their masculinity!..
helluva post here..really striking!..

A great image of a very scary man that I really wouldn't like to have to fight!

A good close up on the warrior, Doug. Nice clarity and details in the photo.
