INDIANS AROUND A CAMPFIRE, 1852, by Harrison Eastman, watercolor painting on beige paper. Eastman was a pioneer artist based in San Francisco, painted this Indian camp of four women and a baby. They had primitive shelters and minimal clothing. They gathered roots for food, a practice that led to their pejorative characterization as 'digger Indians' by the newly arrived Euro-Americans (watercolour)
