EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ma-che-ka-kat or the Bad Hawk" by James Otto Lewis showcases the strength and dignity of a tribal chief from the Menominee Indians. The portrait, part of "The Aboriginal Port-Folio: A Collection of Portraits of the Most Celebrated Chiefs of the North American Indians" captures a moment in history during the Treaty of Green Bay in 1827. The chief's piercing gaze draws you into his world, revealing both wisdom and resilience. Adorned with intricate jewelry, including a striking necklace and earrings, he exudes regality and pride in his heritage. His traditional clothing reflects his indigenous roots, reminding us of their rich cultural significance. What makes this image even more remarkable is that Chief Ma-che-ka-kat is blind. Despite this physical challenge, he stands tall as a symbol of leadership for his people. Through this photograph, we are reminded that true power lies not only in physical sight but also in inner vision - an ability to see beyond what meets the eye. Lewis's masterful engraving technique brings out every detail with precision, creating a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers today. This print serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing Native American culture while honoring Chief Ma-che-ka-kat's legacy as one of America's great tribal leaders.
