Portrait of Joseph Tayadaneega, called the Brant (Joseph Brant, 1742-1807) [OHQ2-PICTURES-S-R-8]

Inscribed in the plate: “Joseph Tayandaneega, called the Brant, the Great Captain of the Six Nations. Engraved from an original painting of G. Romney, in the collection of the Right Honble the Earl of Warwick by J.R. Smith”.
From the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online : “Brant was a noble figure who dedicated his whole life to the advancement of his people and who struggled to maintain their freedom and sovereignty. His major failure was his inability to understand the nature of British imperialism and to comprehend the fact that the British would not permit two sovereignties to exist in Upper Canada. (…) Only Brant’s larger vision of Indian unity, had it been achieved, would have succeeded in maintaining Indian sovereignty for a longer period and slowing white expansion. In this plan he was defeated by jealousies and divisiveness among the confederated Indian nations, and by American and then British successes in undermining the general confederacy. When Tecumseh revived the concept of a confederacy in the next generation, it was already too late.”
