EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Ute Chief, Un-Ca, from 1879. Un-Ca was a prominent chief of the White River Utes during this period. The wood engraving, created by an American artist in the same year, beautifully captures his regal presence and traditional attire. Un-Ca is depicted wearing a striking neck lace adorned with intricate beads that symbolize his status as a leader. His clothing consists of carefully crafted garments featuring rich patterns and textures, showcasing the craftsmanship of Native American culture. An ear ring adds to his distinguished appearance. The chief's bandolier holds bullets, serving as both a functional accessory and a testament to his warrior spirit. This detail highlights the resilience and strength of indigenous communities during challenging times. The wood engraving technique used in this artwork brings depth and texture to every line, enhancing its visual impact. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical piece for art enthusiasts to appreciate today. Through this photo print, viewers can glimpse into the late 19th-century life of Native Americans in America's West. It serves as a reminder of their cultural heritage and contributions to our nation's history while honoring Un-Ca's legacy as an influential Ute Chief.
