EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the Chinook Native Americans on the grounds of the abandoned Methodist mission at The Dalles, Oregon Territory. Painted by William H. Tappan in 1849, this artwork provides a glimpse into the lives and culture of these indigenous people during that time. The image showcases an encampment set against the stunning backdrop of the Columbia River. A fence surrounds the area, creating a sense of security and protection for those residing within. In the foreground, we see several men on horseback, proudly representing their heritage as they ride through the grounds. The log cabin and teepee structures scattered throughout depict both traditional Native American dwellings and influences from European settlers. This fusion reflects how different cultures coexisted during this period of history. The vacant mission house stands as a reminder of failed attempts to convert Native Americans to Christianity. Despite its abandonment, it serves as a testament to resilience and perseverance. Through Tappan's brushstrokes, we are transported back in time to witness this unique encounter between two worlds - one rooted in ancient traditions and spirituality while being confronted with rapid changes brought about by Western expansion. This print is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection - an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to explore America's rich cultural tapestry through art.
