EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Waa-kaun-see-ka or the Rattle-Snake" by James Otto Lewis showcases the powerful presence of a Winnebago Chief. Painted during the treaty of Prairie du Chien in 1825, this portrait captures the essence and dignity of an indigenous leader. The chief's piercing gaze draws you into his world, revealing a depth of wisdom and strength that transcends time. His elaborate headdress, adorned with feathers and intricate beadwork, symbolizes his status as a tribal ruler. The attention to detail in his clothing and dress reflects both cultural significance and personal style. Lewis's skillful use of lithography brings this Native American chief to life on paper. Every line etched onto the engraving tells a story, preserving not only an individual's likeness but also their heritage for future generations to admire. As we observe this image today, it serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity within North America's indigenous communities. It is through art like this that we can appreciate the resilience and contributions made by these tribal leaders throughout history. Displayed proudly at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, USA, this print invites us to reflect upon our shared past while honoring those who came before us.
