This print showcases the remarkable Esther Deer, a Mohawk dancer, singer, and activist who left an indelible mark on history. Born around 1891 and passing away in 1992, Esther Louise Georgette Deer was also known as Princess White Deer due to her regal presence and grace. In this particular image captured in June 1937, we see Esther standing alongside Presidential Secretary Marvin H. McIntyre. She holds an invitation for President Roosevelt to attend the Six Nations Iroquois Grand Indian Council on July 5th of that year. This photograph serves as a testament to Esther's influential role within her community and her tireless efforts to advocate for Native American rights. Esther is adorned in traditional Mohawk attire, wearing a striking headdress adorned with feathers that symbolize wisdom and spirituality. Her clothing reflects the rich cultural heritage of her tribe while exuding elegance and strength. The setting of Washington D. C. 's interior adds historical significance to this portrait, emphasizing the importance of Esther's mission within the political landscape of the time. This powerful image from The Granger Collection not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates Esther Deer's legacy as she fought tirelessly for recognition, respect, and justice for Native Americans throughout her life.
