Indian hunters pursuing buffalo in the early spring
ca. 1822, by Peter Rindisbacher

Peter Rindisbacher was 15 years old when he immigrated to Selkirk's Red River settlement in 1821. Already an accomplished artist when he arrived in Canada, he produced a series of watercolours documenting the voyage to Rupert's Land and life in the settlement. His watercolours, including this drawing of Assiniboine Indians from the Red River area, are among the earliest images of western Canada.
