Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Who among us doesn't enjoy fine Western Art? I certainly do and collect images that I find on the internet. I want to share a few fine art pieces of our American Indians. Here are five. Notice the saber on this fifth one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Beautiful paintings. Last one is interesting. Can't tell if it is a man or a woman. There were women warriors. At the Rosebud Battle, the Lakota call it "Where the sister saved her brother." Western saddle with a horn the figure is resting their hand on, plus the saber. Might have taken the saber if DeRudio dropped his at LBH. Don't recall if the mule rider's saddle, which does have a brass horn, was issued as early as 1876. Top picture, warrior on the left is riding an appaloosa. Could have been gotten in a raid or by trade with the Nez Perce. Figure on the right is wearing a Hudson's Bay blanket. Anyhow, thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass Range Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Very nice [pics. I collected these until recently. Just original oils. Expensive hobby. Hopefully my kids will not sell them at yard sale prices. I had a McClellen with a brass horn. Hand me down from the remount station at Riley.

Much less expensive to just copy and paste to my hard drive and transfer to my photo website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Great paintings. I never tire of viewing painting, or old photographs, of what we used to call "Indians". Having them in my heritage, I am not offended at the term "Indian". They were, and are, a magnificent people. Different mindsets, and viewpoints, shaped differently than the Europeans, obviously. Thanks for the post. Very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 On 8/18/2021 at 4:12 PM, Waxahachie Kid #17017 L said: I never tire of viewing painting, or old photographs, of what we used to call "Indians". Having them in my heritage, I am not offended at the term "Indian". One of the big contemporary misconceptions is that 'we used to call them Indians', and that the term Indian is in any way offensive, or that 'Native American' is preferred. Nothing is farther from the truth. We have dozens of Indian tribes in my state alone. Half have 'Indian' as their official name. All have 'tribe' or 'tribal' in their names. Not a single one has 'native American' as part of their names. The Puyallups have just finished their new modern casino north of my city, right on I-5. The prominent sign, placed about a year ago, and about 20 feet tall: "Puyallup Tribe of Indians". The Western Washington tribes do a Sunday supplement to the newspapers hereabouts from time to time, to address tribal concerns. They always forthrightly refer to themselves as "Indians", and make it clear that Indian is the preferred term; 'Native American' is OK. When the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian was established some decades ago, the tribes and pan-tribal groups and organizations were consulted on the name. The overwhelming consensus was "Indian' over Native American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
