EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable ingenuity and cultural practices of the Assiniboin Native Americans. The image depicts tree-top tombs built by these indigenous people, providing a glimpse into their burial customs and spiritual beliefs. The line engraving, created in 1843 by Karl Bodmer, beautifully captures the intricate details of these unique structures nestled within a dense forest. The tombs stand tall amidst towering trees, symbolizing the connection between life and death in Native American culture. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are drawn to the presence of a lone wolf standing beneath one of the tombs. This powerful animal holds great significance in Native American mythology as a guardian spirit and guide through both earthly and spiritual realms. Through this image, we are transported back to middle America in 1843 when these ancient traditions were still thriving. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich heritage that has shaped our nation's history. The Granger Collection has once again curated an extraordinary piece that not only celebrates artistic excellence but also educates us about diverse cultures that have contributed to our collective identity.
