EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ta-ma-kake-toke or the Woman that Spoke First" by James Otto Lewis takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a Chippeway Squaw, painted during the Treaty of Fond du Lac in 1827. The woman's piercing gaze draws you into her world, revealing strength and resilience. Her traditional clothing and intricate accessories reflect her rich cultural heritage as an Ojibwa Indian. Every detail tells a story - from the delicate beadwork adorning her dress to the feathers gracefully adorning her hair. Lewis skillfully captures not only the physical features of this Native American woman but also conveys a sense of dignity and wisdom through his artistry. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the indigenous peoples' profound connection with their land, culture, and traditions. Displayed at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this print is part of "The Aboriginal Port-Folio: A Collection of Portraits of the Most Celebrated Chiefs of North American Indians". It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation that sheds light on Native American identity during early encounters with European settlers. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us honor and appreciate the countless stories woven into its fabric – stories that deserve recognition for their contribution to our shared human history.
