  • Hickerson Revised
    Portraits TOC KIOWA: AN EMERGENT PEOPLE Nancy P. Hickerson …this is how it was: The Kiowas came one by one into the world through a hollow log. There were many more than now, but not all of them got out. There was a woman whose body was swollen up with child, and she got stuck in the log. After that, no one could get through, and that is why the Kiowas are a small tribe in number….1 n midsummer of the year 1805, the expedition led by Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark made camp on Ithe Missouri River some miles above its junction with the Platte. Nearby were the villages of the Otoes and Pawnees. Farther to the west, near the headwaters of the Platte, they learned of a number of nomadic tribes including the “Kiawa.”2 This was the first official notice given to a people who would, in future decades, become familiar to the soldiers, trappers, and settlers of the American fron- tier as the Kiowa. Like the neighboring Arapahoes, Crows, and Cheyennes, the Kiowas were equestrian (horse-riding) hunters who followed the great herds of buffalo. Their needs in food, containers, clothing, and housing were, in large part, supplied directly from the hunt. Horses, which had been introduced by Spanish colonizers, were essential to the life of the Plains Indians, and the Kiowas were famous for the size of their herds. They counted their wealth in horses, and also traded them to other groups, both Indian and non-Indian, even the invading Americans. Within a few decades of the Lewis and Clark expedition, aggres- sive white hunters all but exterminated the buffaloes, and the U.S.

  • George Catlin: Explorer and Painter of the Mandan Amy Trujillo
    GEORGE CATLIN: EXPLORER AND PAINTER OF THE MANDAN AMY TRUJILLO In a time when the majority of the United States' citizens viewed the Native American tribes as savages and a nuisance, George Catlin managed to capture a realistic view of these peoples. Catlin's art is probably the most receptive of the early Native American painters. His paintings demonstrated an understanding and even an appreciation of the native people. In 1837, few people in or outside of the United States had a clear picture of what the tribes of the Plains and the Rocky Mountains looked like. The copious amount of paintings, sketches and materials that Catlin brought back with him give some of the best, and in many cases, the only information about the tribes before the serious interference of Euro-American settlers and the government. For the majority of his adult life, Catlin traveled in the Louisiana Purchase Territory documenting the people through his paintings and his writing. Still, there is no doubt that Catlin believed that the Native Americans were doomed. One of the main motives behind Catlin's work was to document these people before they disappeared or the United Stated government changed their way of life forever. In many ways, Catlin was the first ethnographer of the native peoples and one of the most successful in capturing the tribes before outside interference.' He was willing to paint and describe the Indians accurately. He did not give in to the stereotype of portraying the tribes as bloodthirsty savages. Through his art he attempted to show the American people the reality of the tribes, both good and bad, and doing this became his life's work.
