EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ke-wa-din or the North Wind" by James Otto Lewis takes us back in time to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of Native American tribes. The image showcases a Chippeway Chief, his regal presence emanating from every brushstroke. Lewis, known for his collection of portraits of celebrated chiefs, captured this powerful figure during the treaty of Fond du Lac in 1826. Dressed in traditional indigenous clothing and adorned with intricate details, the chief exudes strength and wisdom. His piercing gaze holds stories untold and experiences shared only within his tribe. As he delicately holds a pipe between his fingers, smoke gracefully dances around him. This ceremonial act symbolizes unity and connection with both earthly and spiritual realms. It is through these rituals that ancient traditions are passed down from one generation to another. The lithograph engraving technique employed by Lewis adds depth to this remarkable portrait, allowing viewers to appreciate each line etched onto paper. Through this art form, we are transported into an era where tribal chiefs were revered as kings and rulers within their communities. This print serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans while honoring their resilience throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon our collective past and embrace diversity as an essential part of our present-day society.
