Chief White Feather "Dr. Teyet Ramar" Sioux Beaded Vest

About the Item

Chief white feather "Ramar" Dr. Teyet Ramar , better known as Chief White Feather Sitting Bull (1908-1957) Born of Sioux father and Chippewa mother, he was a direct descendant of an even more famous chief, Sitting Bull. Teyet Ramar graduated from Shelton College, New York City, and before his conversion was a feature organist in Broadway theaters and was described by the New York Times as "the most musically gifted American Indian in public life." He often appeared as a Sioux Indian Chieftain, and his lectures on American Indian life were listened to widely. Then he found Christ and dedicated all his great gifts to his service. As an international concert artist in America and Europe, he could sing in seven languages and spoke four fluently. A brilliant organist, pianist, and carillonneur, he used hi opera singer's talents and training in the proclamation of the gospel. He appeared in Royal Command performances, and on one occasion sang before King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at the White House in Washington.

Indian Chief Motif Porcelain Humidor, American, circa 1900
Located in Incline Village, NV
Fine quality hand painted porcelain humidor is in excellent all original condition with no chips, repairs, or overpaint; nice bright crisp paint and detail. No mark, but definitely American, circa 1900 era. Note the detail to the Indian's face and his elaborate headdress. Native American Indians were especially attracted to tobacco and related products and relished the opportunity to pose for pictures on that topic; note cigar store "Indians", match safes, and humidors. This is a very desirable and item of tobacciana with the Indian subject matter and the attractive multicolored hand painted Indian chief with headdress, probably of note but I have not been able to accurately identify him; quite possibly "Big Bow" an Indian warrior who has been identified on other similar objects.
