Description: Portrait of a famous one-eyed man. This captain had one eye put out by an arrow. He was a great warrior and was the terror of many surrounding nations. He is addressing his soldiers through a birch bark tube. He urges them to pay attention to him, saying: Pissintaouik nikanissitik, Listen to me, my brothers. He was called Iscouakité, which means “burning firebrand.”
