Peter Rindisbacher
Peter Rindisbacher (12 April 1806 – 12 August or 13 August 1834) was a Swiss artist who specialized in watercolors and illustrations dealing with First Nation tribes of mid-Western Canada and the United States, mostly depictions of the Anishinaabe, Cree, and Sioux, usually in group action or genre scenes.〔Josephy, Alvin M. Jr., ''The Artist was a Young Man: The Life Story of Peter Rindisbacher''. Fort Worth: Amon Carter Museum, 1970.〕 He seldom did individual portraits; however, he painted himself into a few interior tipi scenes, usually smoking a pipe. He commonly referred to the tipis as tents, such as in the title, ''Inside a Skin Tent''.〔(Painted in 1824, one of the earliest studies of a tipi by a non-Indian. Library and Archives Canada Collection. )〕
==Biography==
Rindisbacher emigrated from Switzerland to south central Canada with his family when he was fifteen. The family was recruited by an agent of Red River Colony, established by the Earl of Selkirk, to settle the area located near present-day Winnipeg, Manitoba. Lord Selkirk's land grant, called Assiniboia, was administered by a governor and council but, as all the colony's officials had connections with the Hudson's Bay Company, the colony was effectively an arm of Hudson's Bay's operations. The colony faced difficulties due to a disastrous flood of the Red River, on the eastern boundary of North Dakota, which led to damaged crops and starvation. The Rindisbacher family relocated to Wisconsin in 1826, and then settled permanently in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1829.〔(Rindisbacher's biography at the ''Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online'' )〕
