EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Moa-Na-Hon-Ga, also known as Great Walker, an esteemed Iowa Chief from the year 1824. The illustration is derived from "The Indian Tribes of North America". Volume 1, a remarkable publication by Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall. Created by Charles Bird King and published by John Grant, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Moa-Na-Hon-Ga's noble presence. In this image, we witness the dignified countenance of Moa-Na-Hon-Ga as he stands tall with pride and strength. Adorned in traditional Native American attire, his regal Mohican feathers cascade down his back while an arrowhead necklace adorns his chest. These symbolic elements speak to his warrior spirit and deep connection with nature. Moa-Na-Hon-Ga's significance extends beyond mere visual representation; he played a pivotal role in uniting with Ma-Has-Kah during their visit to Washington in 1824. This historical event marked a crucial moment for Native American tribes' interactions with government officials at that time. As we gaze upon this extraordinary portrait captured by Charles Bird King, we are transported back to a significant period in history where indigenous cultures thrived amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage embedded within our nation's roots and encourages us to appreciate the diverse tapestry that shapes our collective identity today.
