About this work
Cú-sick was a member of the Tuscarora tribe, one of the tribes of the confederacy called the Six Nations. George Catlin thought him "a very talented man—has been educated for the pulpit in some one of our public institutions, and is now a Baptist preacher, and I am told a very eloquent speaker." (Catlin, Letters and Notes, vol. 2, no. 47, 1841; reprint 1973)
