EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases Obtossaway, a prominent Ojibwa Chief hailing from Minnesota. The image, transformed into a vibrant photochrome portrait by the Detroit Publishing Company, offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans during this era. Obtossaway stands tall and proud in his traditional attire, adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers that speak volumes about his status within the tribe. His buckskin clothing reflects both practicality and craftsmanship, demonstrating the resourcefulness of his people in utilizing natural materials for their garments. The photograph captures Obtossaway's profile as he gazes thoughtfully into the distance, evoking an air of wisdom and strength. The indoor setting adds an element of intimacy to this historic moment frozen in time. As we admire this vintage piece from Underwood Archives' collection at Universal Images Group (UIG), it serves as a reminder of the resilience and beauty inherent in indigenous cultures across North America. It is through images like these that we can appreciate and honor their enduring legacy
