There is no image of Queen Aliquippa from her lifetime, but this eighteenth-century French depiction of an Iroquois woman and child gives some indication of what she may have looked like. Like many Iroquois women of the time, she wears a cloak and skirt made from European trade cloth and native-style jewelry in her hair and ears. She also carries two cradleboards, which Indian women used to carry and attend to small children.
