EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1866 showcases Ely S. Parker, a prominent Native American Chief and statesman of the 19th century. With his strong presence and distinguished features, Parker exudes leadership and wisdom. As a member of the Seneca tribe and an Iroquois chief known as Hasanoanda, he played a significant role in bridging the gap between Native American tribes and the United States government. Parker's remarkable life journey also saw him serve as an officer during the Civil War, where he became one of only two Native Americans to reach the rank of brigadier general in the Union Army. His military service earned him respect among both his fellow soldiers - often referred to as "Yankees" - and tribal communities. In this wood engraving by Samuel Granger, Parker is depicted with a dignified expression on his face, donning traditional attire that reflects his cultural heritage. The intricate details captured in this print highlight not only Parker's physical appearance but also symbolize his dedication to preserving indigenous traditions amidst changing times. Ely S. Parker left an indelible mark on history through his contributions as a leader, diplomat, soldier, and advocate for Native American rights. This powerful image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and reminds us of the importance of recognizing diverse voices in shaping our nation's story.
