Abstract:

A study of a painting of Benjamin Hawkins and the Creek Indians explored its relationship to Thomas Jefferson’s policy for the assimilation process during the first decade of the nineteenth century. Hawkins, a former North Carolina senator, was appointed to implement and oversee the civilization plan. Signs of assimilation are apparent in the painting, but they do not reflect an absolute change in the Creek social structure.
