Black Hawk (artist)

Black Hawk was a member of the Sans Arc or Itzipho band of Lakota people. He is best known as an artist who, in 18801881, produced a set of 76color ledger drawings of Lakota life for William Edward Caton, the federal Indian trader at the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. The cover of the bound volume of Black Hawks drawings describes him as CHIEF MEDICINE MAN OF THE SIOUX. He is believed to have been killed in the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890 but this is not certain.
