And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Painting by Charles Bird King (1785-1862) of Young Omahaw, War Eagle, Little Missouri, and Pawness (1821)
Thank you for posting that magnificent painting, and including the title and identifying the artist.
I searched the Internet for the highest resolution of that image, and downloaded it onto my computer's hard drive, placing it in my "AMERICAN INDIANS" folder, which is inside my "OLD WEST" folder, inside of my "ART" folder, which I use as my screensaver.
Note that I refuse to use the "politically correct" term, "Native American", as I consider its improper use to be a deliberate slur against those of us who were born and raised in the United States of America, but without American Indian blood in our veins.
I also shared the image on the Internet in my FLICKR account, my USA LIFE account, and my GAB account, and plan to post it on my FACEBOOK page later this week.
However, when researching this on the Internet, I learned that the title should read, "PAWNEES", and not, "PAWNESS".
Here is the web site URL for the highest resolution of that image:

I hope that you will continue to always include the title and the artist's name when posting these works of art, as unfortunately, so many other bloggers fail to do.
Every one of the Navajos I know, which is more than a few, prefer 'indian'. Most deplore the appellation of native american (to the extent which they would show their disapproval for as a people they are inclined not to delve in negative emotion).
Of course, they greatly appreciate being known as Diné.

Fierce warriors the Pawnee. Several WWII heroes as well as when they were on the plains.
