Re: Blue Jacket
The dignity in your portrait work hooks me good, Atehequa. Thx.
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

Thank you, The Mingo
Wayapiersenwah or Blue Jacket, Shawnee Chief.
Some say his European name was Marmaduke Van Swerigin, Dutch and captured as a teenager by the Shawnee. Whatever his birth, Wayapiersenwah was a exceptional warrior and helped lead a force of old northwest native tribes to defeat two American armies sent by the newly established United States into Indian territory.
I do not know what he looked like, but imagined him as such in my painting.
