Big Bear's father, Black Powder, sketched by Paul Kane in 1847:
A follower of The Man Who Gives the War-Whoop, he was the leader of a small band of mixed Cree and Ojibwa, who wintered on the shores of Jackfish Lake in west-central Saskatchewan, and hunted bison on the plains in the spring and fall.
The Man Who Gives the War-Whoop (Paul Kane, 1848)
Painted by Kane in 1848 while he was en route to raid the Blackfoot
