EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Kish-Kal-Wa, a distinguished Shawnee Chief, as illustrated in the renowned publication "The Indian Tribes of North America". The artwork, possibly painted by Charles Bird King in the early 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this Native American leader. Kish-Kal-Wa's striking presence is evident through his traditional body adornments and regalia. His nose ring and intricate tattoos reflect his cultural heritage and personal identity. Adorned with vibrant face paint and adorned feathers, he exudes strength and wisdom. The elaborate earrings further emphasize his status within the tribe. Living on the banks of Kansas River, Kish-Kal-Wa embodies the resilience and connection to nature that defines many indigenous communities. This image serves as a testament to their rich history and enduring traditions. Preserved in a private collection, this color lithograph offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. Through this visual representation of Kish-Kal-Wa's likeness, we are reminded of the diverse cultures that have shaped North America.
