EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Wi-Jun-Jon, an Assiniboine brave, in both his native costume and regimental uniform. The image was created by Myers and Co, with contributions from George Catlin and Wi-Jun-Jon himself. Taken in 1841 as part of the collection "Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs and Condition of the North American Indians" this photograph provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans during the 19th century. In one frame, Wi-Jun-Jon stands proudly adorned in traditional attire. Feathers crown his head while a necklace embellished with intricate jewelry adorns his neck. A fan delicately held in his hand adds to the regality of his appearance. In another frame, he dons a military uniform that symbolizes assimilation efforts during that era. The contrast between these two images prompts contemplation about identity, assimilation, and cultural preservation. It raises questions about how indigenous peoples navigated their traditions within a changing world influenced by colonization. Wi-Jun-Jon's portrait is not only visually striking but also serves as a historical document shedding light on Native American life at that time. Through this photograph, we are invited to appreciate the resilience and complexity of indigenous cultures amidst societal transformations taking place across America's vast plains.
