This is my portrait of Sukamek, a supporting character from my alternate-history novella Carthage Atlantica. His horticultural people, the Inu’naabe, live in villages of bark wigwams scattered along the eastern coast of North America, and they are the first Native Americans (or “Atlanteans”) the Carthaginian colonists from North Africa stumble upon in the story, also becoming their allies and trading partners. Although the Inu’naabe are technically a fictional creation of mine, they are inspired by various Algonquian-speaking communities native to eastern North America such as the Lenape and the Wampanoag.
