Marcell of Portland, this commanding panoramic image titled The Big Chiefs presents Nez Perce and Yakama leaders gathered at the Astoria Centennial in Oregon. The wide-format composition preserves a gathering of tribal dignitaries at one of the early twentieth century's most celebrated regional events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Astoria Centennial of 1911 marked the hundredth anniversary of the founding of Fort Astoria by John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company, the first permanent American settlement on the Pacific coast. The celebration drew visitors from across the region, with Indigenous delegations representing tribes whose presence long predated European arrival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nez Perce and Yakama are both Columbia Plateau peoples whose ancestral territories encompass vast stretches of present-day Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Both tribes were signatories to landmark treaties negotiated at the 1855 Walla Walla Council, agreements that reshaped the political landscape of the Pacific Northwest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis distinguished photograph stands as a testament to the enduring leadership of the Nez Perce and Yakama peoples, offering a window into a pivotal gathering where tribal nations commanded respect on a public stage. It appeals to collectors of Pacific Northwest Indigenous heritage, panoramic photography, and Native American history.","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"6x25 Inch","offer_id":47999379570877,"sku":"ENPAN0013_0625L","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x34 Inch","offer_id":47999379603645,"sku":"ENPAN0013_0834L","price":73.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10x42 Inch","offer_id":47999379636413,"sku":"ENPAN0013_1042L","price":92.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1qmVCoqkrKrmVzMyhIPOX9_I_0MJeNHfS_w1000.jpg?v=1786767216","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/es\/products\/1911-the-big-chiefs-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
