Blue Eagle original painting

Asked Sep 6, 2008, 08:55 PM — 3 Answers
My father served in WWII with Blue Eagle, the artist and was given an original painting by him in the 1940's. It is of an Indian chasing a buffalo spirit (I believed named Spirit of the Buffalo). I would like to find some history on Blue Eagle and possible value of this painting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, SSpider

There is a small article on him on wikipedia;
Acee Blue Eagle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A little bit on this site;
Guide to the Collections of the National Anthropological Archives (#B2)

And an article on a book about him here;
http://www.medicinewheelpress.org/AceeBlueEagle.html

Also, here is the google search I used to get these pages;
artist "Acee Blue Eagle" - Google Search


I hope that's the right "Blue Eagle" and that those pages help you out a little bit!

Yes! Much like "Mother, Child & Deer", "Caddo Creation Legend", etc. Mine has an Indian with a spear - head shaped like a buffalo - atop a pinkish paint horse chasing a buffalo with the "spirit of the buffalo" looking on (almost like a buffalo head spear in the sky).

Thanks for all the info - lots now to research!
