Description

Ioway Native Americans in Paris

Rare hand colored lithograph illustrating George Catlin's touring troupe of Ioway Native Americans in Paris in the summer of 1845, during their time at the Salle Valentino.

The image showins a group of Ioways are accompanied at left by manager George H.C. Melody and Jeffrey Doraway, an African-American who had been raised among the Ioways and served as their interpreter. 

The image shows twelve Iowa Indians in full native dress, including three chiefs (Mew-Hu-She-Kaw, New-Mon-Ya, Se-Non-Ty-Yah), three warriors, four women, and two children.

Catlin, an artist and showman, sought to document the Native American peoples and their way of life before the encroachment of Western civilization altered them irrevocably. His Indian Gallery, a substantial collection of paintings and artifacts, became a mobile exhibition of living history, intended to educate and fascinate European audiences.
