"Johannes Staden Helps to Defend the Indians Who Captured Him Against the Tuppin Ikins" is a historical artwork 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. This work is part of a series of illustrations created by Le Moyne to document the life and customs of the indigenous peoples of North America, particularly those in the region of Florida, as well as the experiences of European explorers and settlers.

The illustration depicts a scene involving Hans Staden, a German adventurer and mercenary who was captured by the Tupinambá people in Brazil during the 16th century. Staden's account of his captivity, published in 1557 as "Warhaftige Historia und beschreibung eyner Landtschafft der Wilden Nacketen, Grimmigen Menschfresser-Leuthen in der Newenwelt America gelegen," provided one of the earliest detailed descriptions of the indigenous peoples of the Brazilian coast. In Le Moyne's artwork, Staden is shown assisting his captors in defending against the Tuppin Ikins, likely another indigenous group.

Jacques le Moyne de Morgues' works are significant as some of the earliest visual records of the encounters between Europeans and Native Americans in the 16th century. His illustrations are valued not only for their artistic merit but also for their ethnographic and historical importance. They provide insights into the cultural practices, warfare, and daily life of the indigenous populations before significant European influence altered these societies.

The artwork in question is part of a larger corpus of Le Moyne's work that was rediscovered in the 19th century, having been thought lost for many years. These works now serve as a critical primary source for historians and anthropologists studying the early period of contact between Europeans and Native Americans. The illustration of Johannes Staden is particularly notable for its depiction of cross-cultural interaction and the complex relationships between European adventurers and indigenous peoples during the age of exploration.
