Chief of the Pal-lo-to-path or Flathead Indians, c.1843-50 (watercolour)

C.H.S. watercolor drawings of Indians of North, South, and Central American, the West Indies, and Mexico, copied from various sources, ca. 1843-ca. 1850 Drawing No. 6. Man stands with spear, fringed leggings, belt of white tails, mallet or shaker, necklace of claws, and septum piercing. Woman stands next to him with fishing pole or spear, basket of fish, checkered skirt, and moccasins. The baby on her back has horizontal board on its head for "flattening" (thus the "Flatheads"--however, this tribe never really engaged in this practice). They stand near a creek amid pine trees. by C. H. S.
