Tshusick, an Ojibwa Woman
Portrait of a woman, who is sitting with her left arm resting on a desk or table. She is wearing a jacket, hat, skirt, and pants. According to History of the Indian Tribes of North America by Thomas L. McKenney & James Hall, Tshusick was an Ojibwa convert to Christianity who impressed many members of Washington, D.C. society in the 1820s. She claimed to have walked there from Detroit. However, the authors learned that she was a wanderer and prone to creating fanciful stories in her adventures. |
