Bear's Teeth




This the first sketch of ARIKARA Indian medicine man named "Bear's Teeth" from a photo done by the famous photographer Edward Curtis. I find his fasinating. I have found a better copy of the bad photo I have and plan to do another. He suffered from small pox in his youth which left his face terribly scarred. He was only one of many who fell ill from the "whiteman's disease"
