Special USA Tricentennial Painting - Live Free or Die - by Native American deals Vietnam war veteran 1970’s Vintage

Live Free or Die Vintage American Artwork Painting Bald Eagle.. Painted by Native American artist in 1976 celebrating the tricentennial. Appear to be on light wood/like material panel or sheets, perhaps residual pieces of a wall after remodeling.

This was one of two pieces painted by the artist who passed away shortly after. It was retrieved with many other commemorative and collectible items from their home in the northwoods after it was sold.

**Almost all are Hand Crafted or were collected by North Woods Native American Couple of the Menominee Culture in Northern WI who passed away awhile back. They didn't have access to many resources (still used wood-burning stoves for cooking & heat) - and clearly had a large appreciation for preserving their culture through collecting & making handmade, traditional tribal pieces. The property recently sold, and new owner sold all their beautiful hand made crafts & collections.

Due to the location that they were found and based on the comparison of the colors and patterns…We presume most of it to be Menominee tribal affiliation or from another northern woodland tribe. The age does varies in these pieces. Some pieces of the artwork show to be around 50 years old, created in the early 70s… but a majority of the pieces show direct evidence of being 100-150 years of age .. some potentially being older.

This item , along with most of our other Native American collectibles on our store, where acquired from that source. We purchased as much as we could to do our part to preserve the culture by making sure it would be passed on to collectors who will value, appreciate, and do their part to preserve these historic pieces .

We do our best to date & authenticate items by using our experience, meticulous web searches, assistance from friends affiliated with local tribes, and information groups online. If we missed something or if you have more information about a piece, we would LOVE to know! :)

Before you purchase, Please keep in mind.. that because of the age, many items in our Native American collection do show signs of age deals & wear. We do our best to depict it in the description- but please refer to the photos for specifics.

Thank you!
