ORIGINAL Bear Brave skin painting Native American Art This Native American whitetail deer skin painting is an original. By Ojibwe artist Rob "Hawk". This painting measures 40 inches long by 30 inches tall. This is an incredible piece of art work. Done on a whitetail deer skin. The detail of the bear and brave is truly great. Rob "Hawk" was a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Indians. This piece is signed "Hawk 79", I am unsure if Rob "Hawk" is still alive. The Leech Lake Reservation is located in north central Minnesotain the counties of Beltrami, Cass, Hubbard, and Itasca. In the 1600's, the Dakota Indians had communities at Leech lake. The Ojibwe bands moved into the region during the mid-to-late 1700's. The first Ojibwe settlements were on small islands on Leech Lake. This area in north central Minnesota was the home of the Mississippi and Pillager Ojibwe bands. In 1847, treaties took sections on the southwest corner of their lands with the Mississippi and Pillager bands from the Menominee and Winnebago tribes that were to be moved from Wisconsin. The remaining land was ceded by treaty in 1855 that established the reservation. The 1864 Treaty expanded and consolidated the reservation in the area of the three lakes. The intent at that time was to have the other Minnesota Ojibwe bands move to the Leech Lake area. By read more
