EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Bear Hunt" a remarkable drawing created by Making Medicine, a Cheyenne prisoner at Fort Marion in Florida, during August 1875. Preserved in the National Anthropological Archives of the Smithsonian Institution, this artwork provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of North American Plains Indians. Making Medicine's intricate depiction transports us to an era when indigenous peoples roamed these vast lands. The artist's skillful hand brings to life the intensity and bravery required for such a perilous endeavor as hunting bears. Through his artistry, we can almost hear the thundering hooves of galloping horses and feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins. This drawing not only serves as a testament to Making Medicine's talent but also sheds light on the resilience and creativity of Native Americans during their time in captivity. Despite being imprisoned, they found solace and expression through their artistic endeavors. As we gaze upon this historic piece, let us honor and appreciate the profound connection that Native Americans had with nature and wildlife—a bond deeply rooted in their spiritual beliefs. This image reminds us of our responsibility to preserve and respect indigenous cultures, ensuring that their traditions continue to thrive for generations to come.
