| Description |
English: Six Blackfeet Chiefs painted by Paul Kane along the North Saskatchewan River in Saskatchewan Canada.
"Amongst others, I sketched group No. 17, consisting of Big Snake, the centre figure; Mis-ke-me-kin, “The Iron Collar,” a Blood Indian chief, with his face painted red; to the extreme left of the picture, is a chief called “Little Horn,” with a buffalo robe draped round him, and between him and Big Snake is Wah-nis-stow, “The White Buffalo,” principal chief of the Sur-cee tribe. In the background stand two chiefs of inferior quality, one of them has his face painted half black, being in half-mourning for some friend." (Paul Kane, "Wanderings of an Artist," 1859:424–425) |
