Great Walker - Burial Gaze

Another chapter illustration for the Truman State University Press book on Notable Missourian Great Walker. This scene depicts Great Walker after a trip he and Ioway chief White Cloud made to sign a treaty with the government.  Great Walker thought the treaty was a bad idea and regretted signing away the rights to their ancestral land.  He painted his face black and mourned when they returned to Missouri.
