Warriors in Bear Costume, Graphite and Crayon Drawing on 1875 Ledger Paper green and aqua or fill them with smoothWhile this gathering of warriors dressed as bears seems as if it might have generated entirely from the imagination of the child who drew it, it is one of a handful I found together portraying various historical battles, all done on ledger pages spanning from the 1870s late 1880s ( I believe the drawings were done several decades later.) My guess is these might be Native Americans of the Northwest coast portrayed, perhaps referencing the Nootka crisis
