1848,
by Paul Kane
During his stay at the Hudson's Bay Company's Fort
Pitt, Kane sketched this portrait of a Cree chief with
face paint and a ceremonial wolf skin. The chief was
participating in a vengeance party that was planning
an attack on Blackfoot Indians. Pipestems were collected
from the participants as a promise that they would take
part in the attack.
