Peta-la-sha-ra, man and chief
Description
Title from Jackson, 1877.; Alternative title from item.; Jackson, 1877: 524.; Number in negative: 324.; Number written on mount: 30.; W. H. Jackson; Jackson, W. H. "Descriptive catalogue of photographs of North American Indians." Government Printing Office, 1877, Washington.; Date supplied by cataloger.; This date is inferred.; Reputed head chief of the Pawnees, though really chief only of his own band, the Chowee. His claim was based partly on the fact of having been the first signer of their treaty of 1857. Being a good Indian orator, and of dignified bearing, he was generally awarded the first place in their councils, and led off in speech. In 1820, it is said that he put a stop to the custom, then prevalent among the Pawnees, of offering human sacrifices, but only by a display of great courage. In 1825 he visited Washington with a delegation of his tribe, and attracted much attention by his fine presence. Has always been friendly to the whites and in favor of the advancement of his tribe in civilized habits, although very slow himself to adopt new ideas. He died in the summer of 1874 from an accidental pistol-shot. Had but one wife, and she survives him. (Jackson, 1877)
