Anishinaabe delegate to the First Treaty of Prairie du Chien; believed [Weesh-Cub (The Sweet)] of the Chippewa

Clad in a blue frock coat, a feathered headdress, a brocade waistcoat, shirt points, a silver necklace, face paint, and a black cravat, [Weesh-Cub] transmits confidence, acutely aware of the western style of dress and the relationship between clothing, power, and formations of autonomy and cultural belonging across intersectional identities. The multicolor bandolier strap across the torso suggests the leader may be wearing a medicine bundle. Alongside leaders and representatives from the Council of Three Fires (a millennia-long Anishinaabe national alliance of the Ojibwe/Chippewa, Odawa/Ottawa, and Potawatomi Peoples), [Weesh-Cub] gathered with delegations of the Ho-Chunk, Iowa, Menominee, Sioux, Sac, and Fox and the United States in August 1825 to diplomatically resolve tensions caused by U.S. mining, settler encroachment, and debates over land and water rights that were disrupting the French–U.S. fur trade.
