Lincoln, Self-published, (1898). A small volume dealing with the Omaha tribe, the treaty of 1854, and a number of notable chiefs who signed the treaty. With illustrations by Susette La Flesche Tibbles, aka Bright Eyes, daughter of one of the Omaha chiefs. One chapter, reprinting the 12th Article of the Treaty, is translated by Bright Eyes; another chapter recounts a story told by Waoo-winchtcha, and is translated by her daughter, Dr. Susan Picotte, an Omaha and half-sister of Tibbles. Repairs to the front free endpaper and some minor rubbing to the cloth at the folds; else a near fine copy. This book, being illustrated by an Indian woman, co-published by her, and with stories and translations by Indian women, is an extremely early example of Native American women writing books and being involved in their production. It is also, according to some, the first book illustrated by a Native American, a claim we can report but cannot confirm. A small but significant volume with work by two of the most prominent Native American women writers of the 19th century. [#025470] SOLD
