Hand-coloured lithograph. A fine image from McKenney and Hall's 'Indian Tribes of North America': `One of the most important [works] ever published on the American Indians' (Field),` a landmark in American culture' (Horan) and an invaluable contemporary record of a vanished way of life. Also known to his tribe as The Sacred Pigeon-hawk Which Comes Walking, Little Crow was a noble Sioux chief of the Kaposia band, which resided on the east bank of the Mississippi. He fought for the British in the War of 1812 and traveled to Washington in 1824 as the leader of a Sioux delegation. His grandson, the renowned chief Little Crow, was a key leader in the Great Sioux Uprising of 1862 in Minnesota. The Sioux, one of the most formidable and largest tribes, which included a substantial aboriginal population, inhabited the North American Plains and Prairies. McKenney and Hall's 'Indian Tribes of North America' has long been renowned for its faithful portraits of Native Americans. The portraits are largely based on paintings by the artist Charles Bird King, who was employed by the War Department to paint the Indian delegates visiting Washington D.C., forming the basis of the War Department's Indian Gallery. Most of King's original paintings were subsequently destroyed in a fire at the Smithsonian, and their appearance in McKenney and Hall's magnificent work is thus our only record of the likenesses of many of the most prominent Indian leaders of the nineteenth century. Numbered among King's sitters were Sequoyah, Red Jacket, Major Ridge, Cornplanter, and Osceola. After six years as Superintendent of Indian Trade, Thomas McKenney had become concerned for the survival of the Western tribes. He had observed unscrupulous individuals taking advantage of the Native Americans for profit, and his vocal warnings about their future prompted his appointment by President Monroe to the Office of Indian Affairs. As first director, McKenney was to improve the administration of Indian programs in various government offices. His first trip was during the summer of 1826 to the Lake Superior area for a treaty with the Chippewa, opening mineral rights on their land. In 1827, he journeyed west again for a treaty with the Chippewa, Menominee , and Winebago in the present state of Michigan. His journeys provided an unparalleled opportunity to become acquainted with Native American tribes. When President Jackson dismissed him from his government post in 1839, McKenney was able to turn more of his attention to his publishing project. Within a few years, he was joined by James Hall, a lawyer who had written extensively about the west. McKenney and Hall saw their work as a way of preserving an accurate visual record of a rapidly disappearing culture. (Gilreath). Cf. BAL 6934; cf. Bennett p.79; cf. Field 992; cf. Howes M129; cf. Lipperhiede Mc4; cf. Reese, American Color Plate Books p. 24; Sabin 43410a.

A fine image from McKenney and Hall's 'Indian Tribes of North America': `One of the most important [works] ever published on the American Indians' (Field),` a landmark in American culture' (Horan) and an invaluable contemporary record of a vanished way of life. Ongpatonga or Big Elk (c. 1765- 1846) was the chief of the Omahas from 1800 until his death in 1846. He was a celebrated orator and made two visits to Washington: 1821 and 1837. During his lifetime, his tribe was not required to move and was able to maintain fairly calm relations with the Americans.

Hand-coloured lithograph. In excellent condition. A fine image from McKenney and Hall's 'Indian Tribes of North America': `One of the most important [works] ever published on the American Indians' (Field),` a landmark in American culture' (Horan) and an invaluable contemporary record of a vanished way of life. A highly regarded chief of the Shawnee tribe, Kish-Kallo-Wa participated in several major battles during his lifetime, the most significant of which was the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant at the mouth of the Great Kanawha River in West Virginia. After valiantly fighting the Osage alongside the Delaware and Cherokee tribes in the war of 1818, he signed the Treaty of St. Louis, in which the Shawnee traded their territory near Cape Girardeau for a tract of land in Kansas and a sum of money. It was while serving as a delegate for his tribe in Washington that Kish-Kallo-Wa met McKenney. An Algonquin speaking tribe, the Shawnee inhabited the Southeastern region of the United States.

unbound. Condition: very good. Portrait. Lithograph with original hand coloring. Page measures 20.25" x 14". Beautiful portrait from the folio edition of McKenney and Hall's "History of the Indian Tribes of North America". As Superintendent of the Indian Trade Bureau, Thomas McKenney wanted to document the rapidly disappearing culture of the American natives. He activated the project, sponsored by the War Department, by commissioning writer James Hall and Charles Bird King, a renowned American portraitist. King painted the prominent Indians while they visited Washington D.C. as treaty delegates. Most of the original oil paintings were destroyed by fire in the Smithsonian Museum in 1865. These lithographs, published 1842-58, are all that remain and are still hailed as one of the best visual records of influential Native Americans of the nineteenth century. As a Chippewa chief, Pashanine was known mostly for his marksmanship. Light overall toning, a few chips to edges. One of many Native American portraits in our collection.
