EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting by John Neagle, we are transported back to 1821 and introduced to two remarkable Native American figures. The print showcases "Big Kansas, or Caussetongua" a prominent member of the Ottoe Tribe, alongside "Sharitarishe" the esteemed Chief of the Grand Pawnees. Both men exude strength and wisdom as they proudly don their tribal headdresses adorned with vibrant feathers. Their faces are intricately painted, reflecting their cultural heritage and individual identities. Big Kansas stands tall with an air of authority while Sharitarishe captivates us with his piercing gaze. This artwork not only captures the physical beauty of these Native American leaders but also hints at their significant roles within their communities. Sharitarishe is noted for his exceptional oratory skills, which undoubtedly played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of his people. As we admire this historical piece, it serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry that makes up America's diverse history. It allows us to appreciate and honor the indigenous cultures that have shaped our nation since time immemorial. Displayed at Philadelphia History Museum at Atwater Kent, this painting offers us a glimpse into a world long gone but never forgotten—a testament to both Neagle's artistic talent and these extraordinary individuals who left an indelible mark on American history.
