EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Mar-Ko-Me-Te, a Menomene Brave from 1838. Created by the talented artist Charles Bird King, this colour lithograph captures the essence and strength of this Native American warrior. The Free Library in Philadelphia, PA proudly displays this artwork as part of their collection. Mar-Ko-Me-Te's name holds great significance as it means Bears Oil, a highly prized honor among his people. Adorned with a magnificent feather headdress, he stands tall and proud in this image. His piercing gaze reflects both determination and resilience. The story behind Mar-Ko-Me-Te is one of bravery and triumph over adversity. Having escaped from his Winnebago captors, he represents the indomitable spirit of the Menominee tribe from Wisconsin. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides us with a glimpse into Native American history and culture. It reminds us to appreciate the rich heritage that exists within our own country. As we admire this powerful portrayal of Mar-Ko-Me-Te, let us acknowledge the strength and courage displayed by indigenous peoples throughout history. Their stories deserve recognition and respect for their contributions to our shared past.
