EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Catlin's "Pa-ris-ka-roo-pa (The Two Crows)" from 1852. The pencil drawing, measuring 35x16.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois. Catlin's work serves as a poignant reminder of the North American Indians' existence during the mid-19th century. It portrays Pa-ris-ka-roo-pa, the esteemed head chief of the Crow tribe, wearing a headdress crafted from the skin of a war eagle. This traditional costume symbolizes both power and honor within Native American culture. Through his artistry, Catlin sought to preserve the memory of these noble indigenous people who were rapidly facing extinction at that time. His detailed portrait captures not only Pa-ris-ka-roo-pa's physical features but also his strength and dignity. The image transports viewers back to an era when Native Americans thrived across North America. It offers a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage and traditional dress while honoring their contributions to American history. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of artwork, let us reflect on our responsibility to protect and celebrate diverse cultures like that of the Native Americans depicted here. Their legacy lives on through Catlin's meticulous drawings and reminds us all of our shared humanity amidst changing times.
