"Big Snake's Brother," Blackfoot
Paul Kane (1810 Mallow, Ireland–1871 Toronto, Canada)
Area of Origin: Fort Pitt region, North Saskatchewan River, Saskatchewan, Canada
"Big Snake’s brother was the first who sat to me. . . ." "After I had finished this picture, and the others had examined it with great attention, a general impression seemed to prevail amongst them all that I must be a great medicine man. And as we encouraged the idea, which afforded us no inconsiderable protection from any treachery on their part, I had no trouble in getting as many sitters as I could possibly manage." (Paul Kane, "Wanderings of an Artist," 1859:420–424)
