EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable John Ross, a prominent figure in Cherokee history. As the Native American chief of the Cherokee Nation, Ross played a crucial role in advocating for his people's rights and preserving their culture during a tumultuous time. Known by his Cherokee name Guwisguwi, he led with wisdom and resilience. The watercolor portrait, skillfully created by artist John Rubens Smith in 1841, beautifully captures Ross' dignified presence. The fine art piece portrays him as a man of strength and determination, reflecting his unwavering commitment to protecting the interests of his tribe. Ross lived during an era when Native Americans faced immense challenges due to forced removal policies imposed by the United States government. Despite these hardships, he tirelessly fought for justice and worked towards securing land rights for the Cherokee people. This image serves as a powerful reminder of Ross' significant contributions to both Native American history and American society at large. It symbolizes not only his individual legacy but also represents the resilience and spirit of all Indigenous peoples who have persevered through adversity. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical gem from their collection, allowing us to appreciate and honor John Ross' enduring impact on our shared heritage.
