Studio Portrait of Amos Wallace and Wife Annie Bearchief
Full-length studio portrait of Amos Wallace (WeeKah), a Ho-Chunk-Menominee and his Ho-Chunk wife, Annie Bearchief Wallace Bearheart Redbird (MaHaNaKayWinKah) posing in front of a painted backdrop. He is sitting in a chair and is wearing a suit jacket, vest, trousers, and hat. She is standing and is wearing a plaid shawl, beaded necklaces, and ear bobs. It was not uncommon for the Ho-Chunk to marry outside the tribe. In fact, at certain times in their history it was necessary in order to increase the population, which was sometimes reduced by disease and other catastrophes. Annie Bearchief is also the mother of Joe Green according to Jackson County Historical Society notes. |
