Kansas Indian Recounting to a Trapper, by Signs, the Migration of Buffalo, c. 1837
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures an intriguing moment in history as it depicts a Kansas Indian recounting the migration of buffalo to a trapper through signs. Created by Alfred Jacob Miller in 1837, this artwork showcases the artist's meticulous pencil and brown and black washes on paper technique. The scene takes place against the backdrop of the American West, with its majestic Rocky Mountains towering in the distance. The Kansas Indian is dressed in traditional attire, reflecting their rich native culture. As he skillfully communicates through gestures and symbols, he enlightens the trapper about the awe-inspiring movement of buffalo herds across vast plains. Accompanied by Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart and Irish mountain man Thomas Fitzpatrick, Miller embarked on an expedition along the Oregon Trail to witness one of the last annual fur trappers rendezvous in Wyoming's Green River Valley. This journey allowed them to immerse themselves in both Native American cultures and breathtaking landscapes. Through this artwork, Miller not only captures a historical moment but also highlights themes of exploration and discovery that defined America's westward expansion during this period. It serves as a testament to the intricate relationship between European pioneers/traders and Native Americans while showcasing North America's diverse wildlife. Displayed at Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, this piece invites viewers to delve into early 19th-century geographical exploration while appreciating Miller's artistic talent for capturing significant moments from America's past.
