Thomas McKenney was an early advocate for Indigenous Americans and the survival of their cultures. Between 1836 and 1844, he published “History of the Indian Tribes of North America”, a series of portfolios that featured hand-colored lithographs based on paintings by prominent portrait painter Charles Bird King. In addition to biographies written by McKenney, a large essay on the history of Indigenous Americans by writer James Hall was included. This exhibit will showcase over 30 McKenney & Hall prints from the Muscatine Art Center’s permanent collection.
