EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases Big Bear, a prominent figure of the Missouria tribe, as part of the American Indian Chiefs series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands. The detailed color print offers a glimpse into Native American heritage and tribal culture during that era. Big Bear stands tall in his traditional dress, adorned with intricate jewelry and feathers. His headdress commands attention, symbolizing his status as a chief within his community. The vibrant clothing reflects both cultural significance and personal expression. The lithograph captures Big Bear's strong facial features - a testament to his wisdom and leadership. His well-groomed moustache adds an air of authority while emphasizing his indigenous roots. This image transports us back in time to Missouri, United States of America, where Big Bear played a vital role in preserving tribal customs amidst an evolving nation. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and contributions made by Native Americans to our country's diverse tapestry. Displayed proudly at The Met Museum today, this piece represents more than just art; it is an homage to the resilience and strength embodied by individuals like Big Bear who fought tirelessly for their people's rights and cultural preservation.
