In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries a number of veteran Plains Indian warriors were commissioned to paint their war histories and provide accompanying verbal explanations of the depicted events. These important sources of primary information add significantly to our understanding of earlier, poorly documented war exploit paintings and rock art. As well, a look at the formalistic qualities of these commissioned works against the background of events surrounding their execution tells us much about contemporaneous reservation life and relations between Native Americans and Euro-Americans. The present study centers on the elk skin painting and accompanying explanations which Big Nose, a Piegan chief, was commissioned to execute in 1893-1894
