Habitations of the native Americans of North and South America. At right is an open Iroquois dwelling with a woman making a corn porridge. Outside of the dwelling three women are pounding maize in a wooden mortar, another is crushing corn, another is making a basket in which to place the flour. At right is a Carib dwelling with hammock. Hanging from the hammock is a manioc strainer used to separate manioc juice. Outside are women peeling and grating manioc, one is sieving flour, another is making bread, and another tends a fire. At bottom on left are manioc plant, sweet potato, and ears of corn. At right is a manioc press.

notes:
|
Identification of activities in image and image title taken from "Explication des planches et figures," in preface. To process manioc the roots were grated and pounded into a pulp which was put into long cylinders made of woven plant fibers. Each tube was hung with a heavy weight at the bottom, which compressed the pulp and expressed the poisonous juice. The pulp could then be removed, washed and roasted, rendering it safe to eat.
