"Indian Village of Secoton" is a watercolor painting by John White, an English artist, cartographer, and colonist who is renowned for his detailed depictions of the New World. Created in 1585, this artwork is one of the earliest and most significant visual records of the indigenous peoples and their way of life in what is now the southeastern part of the United States. It portrays the Secotan, an Algonquian-speaking Native American tribe that inhabited the coastal area of present-day North Carolina.

The painting is part of a collection of White's works that were compiled by Richard Hakluyt and later engraved by Theodor de Bry for the publication "America," which aimed to illustrate the landscapes, peoples, and customs of the Americas for European audiences. "Indian Village of Secoton" stands out for its ethnographic accuracy and attention to detail, offering insights into the layout and structure of a Secotan village. It shows the arrangement of circular dwellings around a central open space, with figures engaged in various activities such as cooking, farming, and socializing, thus providing a valuable glimpse into the daily life and culture of the Secotan people.

The watercolor is notable for its historical and cultural significance, as it provides a rare contemporary image of Native American life prior to the extensive contact with European settlers that would dramatically alter indigenous societies. Today, "Indian Village of Secoton" is held in high esteem both as a work of art and as an important anthropological record, offering scholars and the public alike a window into the world of the Native Americans of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of Europeans. The original painting is part of the British Museum's collection, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the understanding of early American history.
