Title A name given to the resource Notin E Garbo wik Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 62.181.08 Description An account of the resource This small painting portrays a woman wearing a strap dress ensemble. It is particularly interesting for the fur trade silver arranged on the straps and front flap, and details of multiple strands of bead necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets, along with elaborate decoration on the skirt of the strap dress itself, which appears to be ribbons trimmed with linear beadwork. It is the only example of a strap dress with a peplum, which makes the depiction suspicious. Technically, it is not clear how a peplum could be added to a strap dress.

Title A name given to the resource Ojibwe Women Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 62.181.13 Description An account of the resource This composition depicts four Anishinaabe women wearing strap dresses. The one on the far left is standing, while the other three are seated. The one on the far right is breastfeeding a baby in a cradleboard (tikinagan). Three of the women are wearing sleeves with their ensembes, but Johnson has not quite depicted them correctly. The closest portrayal is the sleeve in the foreground, although it is shown way too low off the shoulder. In the background there is some kind of building and a group of people gathered on a hill, with larger hills in the distance. On the left side, there is a partially visible human.

Grand Portage, MN Abstract A summary of the resource. Text from the exhibit, "Eastman Johnson: Paintings and Drawings of the Lake Superior Ojibwe," at the Tweed Museum of Art, 2006: This canvas brings together several figures in an almost random order, suggesting that Johnson painted them to document poses and clothing for future paintings. The women wear colorful strap dresses, moccasins, and jewelry, all of which would be useful visual data for an artist of Johnson's time to use in his studio. In the background at right is gathering of people-perhaps for a funeral, as the ridge on which they stand is an old Ojibwe cemetery.

Title A name given to the resource Minnehaha Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 62.181.09 Description An account of the resource This small drawing shows a woman wearing a blue strap dress with red leggings. She is seated on a hillside in the traditional posture of Anishinaabe women. Worn without the sleeves, this side view accurately depicts how the dress would fall loose under the arms, a feature that accommodated breast feeding. Johnson collected this dress and it is now in the collection of the St. Louis County Historical Society.

Grand Portage, MN Abstract A summary of the resource. Text from the exhibit, "Eastman Johnson: Paintings and Drawings of the Lake Superior Ojibwe," at the Tweed Museum of Art, 2006: The most finished of his Grand Portage pictures, this pastel takes its mood and title from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1855 poem, The Song of Hiawatha. The picture, like the poem, is a romantic compilation of nature, native lore, and imagination, with the figure of Minnehaha lost in thought in a forest glade. Her dress and the log seat she faces would have been common Ojibwe objects. Johnson collected such a dress at Grand Portage, in fact, using it and his studies of Ojibwe women as models for this work.

Grand Portage, MN Abstract A summary of the resource. Text from the exhibit, "Eastman Johnson: Paintings and Drawings of the Lake Superior Ojibwe," at the Tweed Museum of Art, 2006: The classic birch bark canoe of the Woodland Indians was the Ojibwe mode of travel along the lakes and rivers of the North Shore. People who recalled Eastman Johnson's visit to Lake Superior said he learned to paddle a canoe skillfully. The largest of Johnson's Grand Portage paintings, this is also one of the most puzzling: the perspective and the placement of the figures are too clumsy to make the scene as convincing as his individual portraits. As you can see by comparing the faces, the painting may never have been finished. Yet it captures in full color an essential part of Great Lakes life.
