Color lithograph of Naw-Kaw, a Winnebago Chief. He is holding a pipe and is wearing several medals around his neck.
Between 1837 and 1844, Thomas McKenney and James Hall collected and published a series of hand-colored lithographs depicting Native American tribal leaders and members of their parties. These lithographs were based on paintings done while the leaders visited Washington, D.C to sign treaties.
