Keokuk, Chief of the Sac and Fox (Meskwaki) people and his son
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the powerful presence of Keokuk, Chief of the Sac and Fox (Meskwaki) people, alongside his young son. The image showcases their rich cultural heritage and offers a glimpse into their way of life. Chief Keokuk, also known as Watchful Fox or Running Fox, stands tall with an air of wisdom and authority. Adorned with medallions representing the President of America, he is a symbol of leadership within his tribe. His son Musewont, known as Long-Haired Fox, stands beside him in awe-inspiring admiration. The attention to detail in this handcoloured woodcut by Pannemaker brings out every aspect of their traditional attire. From Chief Keokuk's staff to his bear teeth necklace and moccasins, each element tells a story about their culture and history. Wrapped in a warm blanket against the backdrop of nature's beauty, they exude strength and resilience. Copied from an original portrait by Charles Bird King for Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall's book "The Indian Tribes of North America" this artwork preserves not only the physical appearance but also the spirit and essence of these remarkable individuals. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - one that celebrates Native American heritage while honoring the legacy left behind by leaders like Chief Keokuk.
