EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "No-way-ke-sug-ga" by Alexander Davis Cooper takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of Native American culture. The subject of this oil painting is a proud Otoe warrior, known as No-way-ke-sug-ga, whose name translates to "He Who Strikes Two at Once". Dressed in traditional attire, No-way-ke-sug-ga stands tall with an air of strength and resilience. His striking headgear adorned with bear claws and feathers symbolizes his status as a respected warrior within his community. The intricate face paint adds another layer of cultural significance, reflecting both personal identity and tribal traditions. Cooper's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this portrait. From the carefully crafted jewelry and earrings to the meticulously depicted tobacco pipe held firmly between No-way-ke-sug-ga's lips, each element tells a story about Native American customs and rituals. Displayed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, this artwork serves as an educational tool that allows viewers to appreciate and learn from indigenous cultures. It reminds us of our shared history while honoring the bravery and resilience of Native American warriors like No-way-ke-sug-ga. Through Cooper's skillful brushstrokes on paperboard, we are transported back in time to witness not only a remarkable individual but also an entire way of life that deserves recognition and respect for its contributions to our collective heritage.
