Kulóskap the Master

Charles Godfrey Leland translation

And Other Algonkin Poems

And bade the little creature come to him; Back smiled the baby, but it did not budge. (See page 108.)

Watercolor in shades of brown and grey set inside a wigwam. To the right is an Indian man sitting on his knees with his left hand extended. A small pot sits on top of a low fire in the lower left corner. Opposite the man, sitting cross-legged on a blanket, is an Indian woman. She is looking down at a small child, seated in front of her. The child, wearing only a necklace, looks at the man.
