"Young Ma-has-kah: Chief Of The Ioways" is a significant work by Thomas McKenney and James Hall, which forms part of their larger series, "History of the Indian Tribes of North America." Published in the mid-19th century, this series is renowned for its detailed lithographs and biographical sketches of Native American leaders. The work aims to document and preserve the history, culture, and notable figures of various Native American tribes during a period of rapid change and displacement.

Thomas McKenney, who served as the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, and James Hall, a lawyer and writer, collaborated to produce this comprehensive series. Their work is particularly notable for its attempt to provide a respectful and accurate portrayal of Native American leaders, countering the often prejudiced and stereotypical views prevalent at the time. The lithographs, based on paintings by artists such as Charles Bird King, are among the most valuable visual records of Native American leaders from the early 19th century.

"Young Ma-has-kah," also known as Mahaska or White Cloud, was a prominent chief of the Ioway tribe. His leadership and efforts to navigate the complex and often hostile interactions with European-American settlers and the U.S. government are well-documented in this work. The biographical sketch of Young Ma-has-kah provides insights into his life, leadership qualities, and the challenges faced by his people during a tumultuous period in American history.

The series, including the portrayal of Young Ma-has-kah, is considered an important historical document. It offers a glimpse into the lives of Native American leaders and their communities, contributing to a broader understanding of American history. The detailed lithographs and accompanying narratives serve as a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the cultural heritage of Native American tribes.
