1893 Attacking Chicago Dearborn Exposition Figures Fort Indians


EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a dramatic scene from the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, specifically at Fort Dearborn. The image captures a moment of conflict between Native American figures and European settlers. Fort Dearborn, established in 1803, was the site of an earlier skirmish between Native Americans and U.S. soldiers in 1812. However, this representation likely portrays a staged reenactment or a fictionalized account, as the Chicago World's Fair showcased various ethnic and cultural performances and exhibits. The Chicago World's Fair, also known as the World's Columbian Exposition, was an international exhibition held to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas. The fair attracted millions of visitors and showcased technological, industrial, and cultural advancements from around the world. In this photograph, the Native American figures are shown in traditional attire, adorned with feathers and war paint, as they charge towards European settlers, who are dressed in clothing typical of the late 19th century. The settlers appear to be defending themselves with rifles and shields. The contrast between the two groups highlights the cultural divide between Native Americans and European settlers during this period. This intriguing lantern slide offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the tensions and complexities that characterized the relationships between Native Americans and European settlers during the late 19th century. The Chicago World's Fair, with its diverse exhibits and performances, served as a platform for showcasing and exploring the rich cultural heritage of various communities, including those of Native Americans.
