EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three Native American shields, each adorned with unique symbols and designs. The first shield features a prominent star symbol, representing guidance and protection. The second shield, known as the Soyaluna shield, bears an unknown symbol that holds mysterious significance within Native American culture. Lastly, the symbolic sun shield radiates vibrant colors in a mesmerizing lithograph. These shields were originally depicted in an article titled "The Siouan Indians: A Preliminary Sketch" by W. J. McGee, published in 1897 as part of the Fifteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Smithsonian Institution. They serve as powerful examples of ceremonial objects used by various tribes during important social and cultural events. The intricate engravings on these shields reflect the rich history and symbolism deeply ingrained in Native American traditions. They provide valuable insights into the anthropological aspects of indigenous peoples' lives throughout North America during the 19th century. This remarkable illustration from Bridgeman Images offers a glimpse into a world where tribal customs thrived alongside nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder of our collective heritage and encourages us to appreciate and respect diverse cultures that have shaped our shared history on this continent we call home – America.
