EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pioch-Ki?iu, a remarkable Piegan Blackfeet man. The image, captured by the talented artist Karl Bodmer, is part of his collection prepared to illustrate Prince Maximilian of Wied's Travels in the interior of North America between 1833 and 1843. In this portrait, Pioch-Ki?iu stands proudly facing right, donning a buffalo robe that drapes gracefully over his shoulders. His hair is intricately bundled and tied on top of his head, adding to the uniqueness of his appearance. Notably, his face is tinted blue, an intriguing cultural practice that holds deep significance within the Blackfeet tribe. Also known as Distant Bear within his community, Pioch-Ki?iu exudes strength and wisdom through Bodmer's meticulous depiction. Every detail in this drawing speaks volumes about Native American culture - from the intricate clothing and dress to the indigenous watercolor techniques employed by Bodmer. As we gaze upon this historical artwork housed at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever.
