EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Granger Collection showcases Awbonnie Tookanka, also known as Aubony Stookaraka, a remarkable Shoshone Native American woman. Born in 1847 and passing away in 1888, she lived during a time of great change and cultural transformation. In this portrait taken around 1865, we see Awbonnie seated gracefully with an air of poise and strength. Her traditional dress reflects her indigenous heritage, adorned with intricate patterns and a beautifully crafted belt. The long sleeves and ring on her finger add to the elegance of her attire. Awbonnie's life took an extraordinary turn when she married Granville Stuart, an American frontiersman and diplomat who played a significant role in shaping the history of the Wild West. Their union symbolizes the merging of two worlds - Native American culture intertwining with that of early American settlers. This photograph not only captures Awbonnie's beauty but also represents a pivotal moment in history where cultures collided amidst westward expansion. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability displayed by individuals like Awbonnie who navigated through times of immense change. The Granger Collection has preserved this precious piece from their Carousel collection, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the rich tapestry that is our shared history.
