EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Ogalala Roster - Little-Hawk and Band" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Native American tribes. Created by an unknown American School artist, this color lithograph is based on an illustration from an article on Pictographs of the North American Indians. The image showcases a group of figures depicted in symbolic pictograms, representing various aspects of Ogalala Sioux culture. Among them stands Little-Hawk, a prominent member of the tribe. Each symbol tells a story - animals, tribal symbols, and ideograms come together to form a unique roster that offers insights into their social structure and way of life. This historical piece serves as both art and communication tool. It highlights the importance of pictographs in indigenous cultures as a means for storytelling and preserving their traditions. The intricate engravings capture not only the beauty but also the complexity behind these ancient forms of writing. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of the diverse peoples who inhabited North America long before its colonization. It serves as a reminder to appreciate and respect their contributions to our shared history. Displayed within private collections today, this print allows us to connect with our past while honoring those who came before us.
