Catlin George - Distinguished Crow Indians poster
Brandywine General Store
An archival poster of Distinguished Crow Indians painted by George Catlin in the 1860s. Luckily, the artist had notes describing and naming the Native Americans in a lot of his portraits from the old wild west. This one was labeled as follows:
a. -- Pa-ris-ka-róo-pa (The Two Crows); head chief of the tribe, in a splendid costume; his long hair descends to the ground, and his headdress the entire skin of a war eagle.
b. -- Pa-ris-ka-róo-pa (The Younger); 'wise man,' and counsellor of the chief.
c. -- Cháh-ee-chopes (The Four Wolves); a chief distinguished, of the tribe.
d. -- Duhk-gíts-o-óh-see (The Red Bear); a celebrated warrior.
e. -- Ho-ra-tó-a (-----); a famous warrior.
f. -- Oo-je-en-áh-a (The Woman who Lives in the Bear’s Den); wife of the chief. 1832."
