The name of the Native Indian in the picture of the Plains Ojibwe Chippewa Indian is Sha-có-pay, The Six, Chief of the Plains Ojibwa, 1832, Plains Ojibwe / Plains Chippewa tribe. The picture of him raises different points of interest which increase knowledge and understanding of Native Indian tribes:
The title we have given the picture reflects the name of the tribe, for ease of identification. Description of the Picture “The chief of that part of the Ojibeway tribe who inhabit these northern regions … is a man of huge size; with dignity of manner, and pride and vanity, just about in proportion to his bulk. He sat for his portrait in a most beautiful dress, fringed with scalp locks in profusion; which he had snatched, in his early life from his enemies' heads, and now wears as proud trophies and proofs of what his arm has accomplished in battles with his enemies. His shirt of buckskin is beautifully embroidered and painted in curious hieroglyphics, the history of his battles and charts of his life.” The Manners, Customs and Conditions of the North American Indians (1832 - 1839) |
