Gallery Label:
A chief of the Osage tribe, his name "White Hair" refers to his Indian name which, loosely translated, means "white sunlight relfected from the head of an eagle at midday". In one battle Pawhuska did attempt to scalp an officer only to find he was wearing a wig. He kept this wig as a trophy and frequently wore it, although it eventually lost its white powdering. This is what he was wearing in this portrait of him in Washington D.C. in 1805. The officer's coat he is wearing was a gift of President Jefferson. Since the Osage men were so large, tradition has it they could not button these tunics. When they got home, they gave them to the women who adapted them to make wedding clothing. Consequently, surplus military coats were traded to the Osage. Some traditional Osage women still wear wedding dresses patterned on these early American military tunics.
