Description:
|
Described in Catlin's North American Indian Portfolio pp. 18-20. Entry from Catlin's 1848 catalog reads, "Wi-jun-jon (an Assineboin Chief), going to and returning from Washington. This man was taken to that city in 1832, in a beautiful Indian dress, by Major Sanford, the Indian agent, and returned to his country the next spring, in a Colonel's uniform. He lectured a while to his people on the customs of the whites, when he was denounced by them for telling lies, which he had learned of the whites, and was, by his own people, put to death at the mouth of the Yellow Stone." Originally painted in the period 1837-1839 (Truettner, 1979, p. 280). See also plates 271 and 272 in Manners, Customs and Condition of the North American Indians.
