Prints in this collection show images of notable Native Americans, including Pocahontas, Red Jacket, Philip (Metacom) of the Wampanogas, Samson Occom, Powhatan, Theyanoguin, and Tecumseh. Prominent Europeans and Americans appear as well, including Captain John Smith, William Augustus Bowles, William Penn, Zachary Taylor, and William Henry Harrison. The majority of the tribal nations depicted in the prints are located on the East Coast and in the Midwest. A significant portion of the prints are of buffalo hunting and Indian ceremonies by George Catlin and various Indian daily life scenes by Seth Eastman. Other notable holdings consist of battles between Indians and American settlers and soldiers, Indians playing ball games, dance ceremonies, caring for crops, and Christian missionaries among the Indians.
