EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the powerful presence of Na-she-mung-ga, a Miami Chief from the 19th century. The image, captured by James Otto Lewis during the treaty of Fort Wayne in 1827, emanates strength and dignity. Na-she-mung-ga stands tall, adorned with intricate jewelry that reflects his status as a tribal chief. His feathered headdress commands attention, symbolizing his connection to nature and spirituality. A pipe rests in his hand, representing peace and unity among his people. Every detail is meticulously captured in this portrait - from the piercing gaze of Na-she-mung-ga's eyes to the elaborate nose piercing that adds an extra touch of cultural significance. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings out every line and contour on Na-she-mung-ga's face, highlighting both his individuality and representation as a leader within the Miami Indians community. The print serves as a testament to indigenous heritage and pays homage to Native American culture. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the resilience of these communities throughout history. Displayed at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this artwork preserves an important chapter in American history for future generations to explore and learn from.
