EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of the Shawano Indians, taken between 1861 and 1869 by renowned artist George Catlin. The image showcases three prominent figures from the tribe: Lay-law-she-kaw, known as the chief with elongated ears, his daughter Kay-te-qua, a skilled hunter, and Ten-squa-ta-way, a prophet blind in one eye. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Mississippi River in 19th century America, this painting offers a glimpse into Native American life during that era. The subjects are depicted wearing traditional attire - vibrant blankets draped over their shoulders - symbolizing their cultural heritage. The oval-shaped portrait highlights each individual's unique features and character. Lay-law-she-kaw exudes strength and wisdom as he gazes confidently into the distance. His daughter Kay-te-qua embodies resilience and independence with her hunting gear at hand. Meanwhile, Ten-squa-ta-way's blind eye suggests an otherworldly connection to spiritual realms. Catlin's masterful use of color brings life to this historical scene while honoring these indigenous people who played an integral role in shaping American history. This artwork serves as a testament to their rich tribal traditions and enduring legacy. As we admire this remarkable piece from George Catlin's collection titled "Shawano Indians" let us appreciate its significance in preserving our shared heritage and promoting understanding of Native American culture within our society today.
