EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Okee-Makee-Quid, a Chippeway Chief, in 1854. The hand-finished plate showcases the intricate details of his traditional Native American attire and headdress. Standing outdoors with a pipe in hand, Okee-Makee-Quid exudes strength and wisdom. The artist, Charles Bird King, known for his depictions of Native Americans during the 19th century, beautifully portrays this historical figure. The lithograph was published by J. T Bowen in Philadelphia as part of "History of the Indian Tribes of North America" by Thomas L. McKenney & James Hall. The image transports us back to a time when Native American tribes thrived across North America. It offers a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage and traditional way of life. Okee-Makee-Quid's stoic expression hints at the challenges faced by indigenous peoples during this period. This print serves as an important reminder of our shared history and the need to preserve and respect diverse cultures. It is a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. Displayed prominently on any wall or within private collections, this lithographed plate evokes curiosity about Native American history while honoring Okee-Makee-Quid's legacy as an influential Chippeway Chief.
