This art print is made from an historical photo of Ahaha, a Wichita woman, and her child taken by photographer Frank A. Rinehart in 1898.
Frank Albert Rinehart was an American artist famous for his drawings, paintings, and photographs depicting Native American personalities and scenes, especially the leaders and members of the delegations who attended the 1898 Indian Congress in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Trans-Mississippi Exposition and International Exposition was held in Omaha from June to October in 1898, and was the most successful world's fair ever held in this country. Over 500 Indian delegates traveled to Omaha from all over the country, representing the following tribes: Apache, Southern Arapaho, Crow, Flathead, Iowa, Kiowa, Omaha, Oto, Ponca, Potawatomi, Santa Clara Pueblo, Sauk and Fox, Lakota, Tonkawa, Wichita, and Winnebago.
Frank A. Rinehart and his assistant, Albert Muhr, (who later traveled with and assisted another famous Indian photographer named Edward Curtis), were chosen as the official photographers for the Exposition, where they took photographs of nearly all the important Indian leaders alive at the turn of the century.
After the Exposition, they traveled to indian reservations across the west for two years, photographing the indian leaders who did not attend the exposition, as well as taking pictures of native american daily life.
