The Smithsonian American Art Museum is showcasing George Catlin's portrait of Ru-ton-ye-wee-ma, known as Strutting Pigeon, wife of White Cloud. Catlin, born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in 1796 and died in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1872, painted many Native American figures. Notes accompanying the work mention Strutting Pigeon, Pigeon on the Wing, and Female War Eagle among the subjects he recorded.
Why now: The museum's share of Catlin's portrait of a Native American woman is drawing attention to his historic record of Indigenous leaders and their families.
