EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Mili Insignia of the Order of Oñatánagi, also known as the Order of the Life Givers, from the Zuni Nation. The intricately designed insignia features an ear of corn, or mili, covered in plumes. The Zuni people, a Native American tribe residing in the southwestern United States, have long revered corn as a symbol of life and sustenance. The Order of Oñatánagi was an important spiritual and social organization within Zuni society. Membership was granted to those who had demonstrated exceptional leadership, wisdom, and dedication to their community. The insignia served as a visible mark of honor and respect, symbolizing the recipient's connection to the natural world and their role as a life giver within their community. This beautiful image of the Mili Insignia was created by August Hoen for the 23rd Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, published in 1904. John Wesley Powell, a prominent American anthropologist and geologist, oversaw the production of these reports, which aimed to document and preserve the cultures and histories of indigenous peoples in North America. The chromolithograph process, which involved using multiple lithographic stones and color layers to create a detailed and vibrant image, was a popular method for producing high-quality prints during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular print, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a fascinating glimpse into the symbolism and spirituality of the Zuni people and their connection to the natural world.
