Description:
|
Described in Vol. II, p. 147. In the text, Catlin gives the name "Mah-kee-me-teuv" for this individual. Caption from Truettner catalog of Catlin's Indian Gallery. Entry from Catlin's 1848 catalog reads, "Mah-kee-mee-teuv, the Grisly Bear; Chief of the nation, and chief of a delegation to Washington city in 1829 (since dead); handsome pipe in his hand, and wampum on his neck." Probably painted originally in Washington, D.C. in 1831 (Truettner, 1979, p. 203).
