Plains Indian Ledger Art
Beginning in the 1860s, Plains Indians moved their drawings from animal hides to accountant ledger books. These ledger books were acquired through trade with Anglo-Americans or in raids with military soldiers. Ledger painting, in the form of pictographs, became a form of communication in many of the Indian schools because the Indians were forbidden to speak their native language and they did not know English. Traditional paints and bone and stick brushes used to paint on hide gave way to new implements such as colored pencils, crayon, and occasionally water color paints. During the end of the Indian wars, when many warriors were imprisoned at Fort Marion, Florida, captives used ledger drawings to illustrate their war battles. These pictographs became a visual history of their lives.
