Grey Hair Medallion Native American Indian

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Red Jacket, a prominent Seneca War Chief from 1828. The illustration is taken from "The Indian Tribes of North America, Vol. 1" by Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall, published by John Grant. Created by Charles Bird King and beautifully rendered in color lithography, this image captures the essence of Red Jacket's commanding presence. Red Jacket, also known as Sagoyewatha or "Keeper Awake" was born around 1756 and played a significant role in the American Revolution as he fought alongside the British forces. This portrayal highlights his distinguished status within the Iroquois tribe and his striking medallion adorning his chest. With his long grey hair cascading down his back, Red Jacket stands tall as one of the last remaining Senecas during that era. His weathered face tells tales of wisdom gained through years of experience and leadership. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Native American history and culture. It invites us to reflect on their contributions to our nation while honoring individuals like Red Jacket who left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
