"How the Indians Collect Gold from the Streams" is a work by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, a French artist and member of the short-lived French colony of Fort Caroline in what is now Jacksonville, Florida. Le Moyne is known for his depictions of the Timucua Indians, who were indigenous to the region. This particular work is part of a series that illustrates the life and customs of the Timucua people as observed by the artist during his time in Florida.

The artwork is significant for its historical value, providing a visual record of the interactions between European settlers and Native American tribes in the 16th century. Le Moyne's works are some of the earliest images of Native Americans created by a European artist, offering insights into the culture and practices of the Timucua, including their methods of collecting gold from streams.

The piece is rendered with attention to detail and naturalism, characteristic of Le Moyne's style, which aimed to document the New World and its inhabitants with accuracy. However, the veracity of some of his depictions has been subject to debate among historians, as they may reflect European perceptions and myths about the Americas as much as they do reality.

"How the Indians Collect Gold from the Streams" not only serves as an important historical document but also as a testament to the complex interactions between European explorers and the native populations they encountered. The work is preserved in various collections and has been studied for its artistic merit as well as its ethnographic significance.
