About Artwork: (1832–33) "Pes-Ke-Le-Cha-Co, Chief of the Pawnee, wears a striking silver peace medal and conveys an air of strong leadership. He was celebrated at the time as "a firm, determined man, an expert hunter, and fearless warrior." Inman produced portraits of Native Americans in preparation for hand-colored lithographs that were printed in The History of the Indian Tribes of North America (1836–44) by Thomas L. McKenney, the head of the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. These distinguished leaders had originally been painted by Charles Bird King and greeted by President James Monroe when they were invited to Washington, DC, by the US government in 1822." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
