Roan Eagle, Wanbli Hito Warrior Ledger Drawing

About the Item

Roan Eagle, Wanbli Hito (Lakota, b. 1863) ledger drawing, untitled. Warrior on horseback. Pencil and watercolor; 7 1/4" x 12". Framed. Wanbli Hito, also known as Roan Eagle, was a Lakota artist whose work holds deep cultural significance. The waŋblí (eagle) is a powerful symbol for the Lakota people. It represents strength, bravery, and holiness. Among all birds, the eagle is considered the strongest and bravest. Native Americans have chosen the eagle and its feathers to symbolize what is highest and most sacred. Roan Eagle’s artistic contributions likely reflect this reverence for the eagle and its spiritual significance. His untitled artwork depicting a warrior on horseback exemplifies the Lakota’s connection to bravery, strength, and the sacred. The piece captures the essence of Lakota culture and the enduring legacy of the eagle symbol.
