WSP-32 – Blackfoot Warrior – Whiskey
Whiskey became a controversial part of the expanding trade across the northern plains during the 19th century. Unscrupulous traders established posts where alcohol was exchanged for valuable buffalo robes and other goods, with devastating consequences for some Indigenous communities.
WSP-32 – Blackfoot Warrior – Whiskey reflects this darker aspect of frontier trade, connecting the figure directly with one of the themes behind the Whiskey, Scalps & Beaver Pelts series.
Rather than portraying another battle, the piece helps tell the complicated story of trade and cultural contact between Native peoples and newcomers moving into the West.
Available from The Military Workshop – an interesting John Jenkins figure portraying another side of the complex history of the North American frontier.
Brand: John Jenkins
