Description
Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohíyesa) – Original Hand-Painted Portrait
This original 8×10 black-and-white portrait honors Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohíyesa), a Santee Dakota physician, author, educator, and advocate whose life bridged Dakota traditions and Western medicine. His legacy continues to inspire generations through his commitment to education, leadership, and preserving Indigenous knowledge.
Each brushstroke was carefully painted by hand by me, a Ponca/Dakota Indigenous artist, with the intention of honoring one of our great leaders and keeping his story alive through art. This is an original painting—not a print—making it a one-of-a-kind piece.
