Wah-ro-née-sah (The Surrounder), an Otoe chief
Voting period ends on 18 Oct 2013  at 21:10:05 (UTC)
 * Reason: The painting shows a veteran Otoe warrior and chief. The painting gives an important look at traditional clothing such as the hair style, wampum earrings, pipe, and most of all a beaded grizzly bear skin robe. The Otoe tribe, which fused with the related Missouria tribe remain relatively unknown to the general public and any images of them in traditional attire are valuable sources of history. The portrait is painted by well known artist of American Indians George Catlin. Catlin's work is seen as highly valuable due to its depictions of American Indians at a time when most contact between Europeans and Indians of the North American west was with fur traders.
