About the Item
The Orator of the Seneca: Red Jacket, Voice of Sovereignty
This lithograph is of Red Jacket, a noted Seneca war chief and orator. It comes from the "History of the Indian Tribes of North America" with portraits published after Charles Bird King, circa 1838.
Red Jacket, known by the Seneca as Sagoyewatha, meaning "Keeper Awake," was a prominent leader and spokesperson for the Seneca nation. His nickname, Red Jacket, derives from a highly embroidered coat given to him by the British for his role during the American Revolutionary War, in which the Seneca allied with the British.
After the war, Red Jacket became well-known as a critical mediator in negotiations between the United States and the Seneca nation, often speaking on behalf of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. He was a staunch defender of Seneca sovereignty and Native American traditions. Red Jacket's fame also stems from his oratorical skills; his speeches were widely reported, and his eloquent defense of native religion in response to a Christian missionary is particularly famous.
The lithograph shows Red Jacket wearing a European-style jacket and a peace medal—given to Native American leaders by the United States government as tokens of diplomacy—around his neck. His strong, dignified profile conveys the presence of a man who played a significant role in the history of the Seneca people and their interactions with European settlers and the American government.

Hall Lithograph
By McKenney
Hall
Located in Alamo, CA
This is an original 19th century hand-colored folio-sized lithographic portrait of a Native American entitled "Tah-Chee, A Cherokee Chief", from McKenney and Hall's 'History of the Indian Tribes of North America'. It was lithographed by J. T. Bowen after a painting by Charles Bird King and published by E. C. Biddle in Philadelphia in 1838.
Tahchee's name translates to Dutch in Cherokee, and he became known as William Dutch. He was born in 1790 in the Cherokee Nation, which is now in a portion of Alabama. Tahchee became known as a skilled warrior and leader among his people, and he was eventually appointed as a chief of the Cherokee Nation "Old Settlers". During his time as chief, Tahchee was a rival of the Osage people and he worked to protect the Cherokee people and their land from encroachment by white settlers. He was a strong advocate for maintaining Cherokee sovereignty and cultural traditions, even as pressure mounted from the United States government to remove the Cherokee from their ancestral lands. In 1838, Tahchee and many other Cherokee people were forcibly removed from their homes in what is known as the Trail of Tears...
