Waun-naw-con, The Dish (John W. Quinney), a Missionary Preacher

“John W. Quinney, in civilized dress, is a civilized Indian, well-educated---speaking good English---is a Baptist missionary preacher, and a very plausible and eloquent speaker.” George Catlin probably painted this portrait at Green Bay (in today’s Wisconsin) in 1836.
