In +plate+ 256 is seen a warrior, _Kaw-kaw-ne-choo-a_; and in +plate+ 257 another, Wa-kon-zee-kaw (the snake), both at full length; and fair specimens of the tribe, who are generally a rather short and thick-set, square shouldered set of men, of great strength, and of decided character as brave and desperate in war. Besides the chief and warriors above-named, I painted the portraits of _Won-de-tow-a_ (the wonder), _Wa-kon-chash-kaw_ (he who comes on the thunder), _Nau-naw-pay-ee_ (the soldier), _Span-e-o-nee-kaw_ (the Spaniard), _Hoo-wan-ee-kaw_ (the little elk), _No-ah-choo-she-kaw_ (he who breaks the bushes), and _Naugh-haigh-ke-kaw_ (he who moistens the wood), all distinguished men of the tribe; and all at full length, as they will be seen standing in my Collection. [Illustration: 252] [Illustration: 255] [Illustration: 254] [Illustration: 256] [Illustration: 257] [Illustration: 258 259] [Illustration: 260 261] +The MENOMONIES,+ Like the Winnebagoes, are the remnant of a much more numerous and independent tribe, but have been reduced and enervated by the use of whiskey and the ravages of the small-pox, and number at this time, something like three thousand, living chiefly on the banks of Fox River, and the Western shore of Green Bay. They visit Prairie du Chien, where their annuities are paid them; and they indulge in the _bane_, like the tribes that I have mentioned. Of this tribe, I have painted quite a number of their leading characters, and at the head of them all, _Mah-kee-me-teuv_ (the grizzly bear, +plate+ 258), with a handsome pipe in his hand; and by the side of him his wife _Me-cheet-e-neuh_ (the wounded bear’s shoulder, +plate+ 259). Both of these have died since their portraits were painted. This dignified chief led a delegation of fifteen of his people to Washington City, some years since, and there commanded great respect for his eloquence, and dignity of deportment. In +plate+ 260 is the portrait of _Chee-me-na-na-quet_ (the great cloud), son of the chief—an ill-natured and insolent fellow who has since been killed for some of his murderous deeds. +Plate+ 261, is the portrait of a fine boy, whose name is _Tcha-kauks-o-ko-maugh_ (the great chief). This tribe living out of the reach of buffaloes, cover themselves with blankets, instead of robes, and wear a profusion of beads and wampum, and other trinkets. In +plate+ 262, is_Coo-coo-coo_ (the owl), a very aged and emaciated chief, whom I painted at Green Bay, in Fort Howard. He had been a distinguished man, but now in his dotage, being more than 100 years old—and a great pet of the surgeon and officers of the post. In +plate+ 263, are two Menominee youths at full length, in beautiful dresses, whose names I did not get—one with his war-club in his hand, and the other blowing on his “courting flute,” which I have before described.
