1873 Papoose Pawnee Wig Wam Squaws
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures a moment in the lives of Native American Indian women of the Pawnee Tribe in the year 1873. The women, identified as 'squaws,' are seen inside a traditional wigwam, a symbol of their indigenous culture. One woman cradles a baby in a papoose, a traditional carrier made from plant fibers or animal hides, while another woman looks on. The wigwam, with its conical shape and smoke hole at the top, is adorned with animal hides and feathers, reflecting the tribe's connection to the land and its natural resources. The Pawnee Tribe, also known as the Pawnee Nation, is a Native American people originally from the Great Plains region of North America. By the late 1800s, they had been forced to relocate several times due to encroachment by European settlers and the US government. This illustration provides a glimpse into their daily lives before the era of forced assimilation and the loss of their traditional way of life. The Pawnee people were known for their agricultural and hunting skills, as well as their artistic and spiritual traditions. They were also skilled traders, exchanging goods with other tribes and European settlers. The baby in the papoose is a reminder of the continuity of their culture and the next generation of Pawnee people. This illustration, created in the late 1800s, is a valuable historical record of the Pawnee Tribe and their way of life before the dramatic changes brought about by European contact and American expansionism. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Native American peoples and the importance of preserving their stories and traditions for future generations.
