John Taylor's drawing of the Treaty signing is more representational, whereas Howling Wolf's is more abstract. Howling Wolf's drawing focuses a lot on the land the treaty took place and on the Native American culture. Taylor's is more realistic, it focuses more on what was going on there. Our attention is drawn to what is going on in the center of the drawing. Native Americans were more considerate of women's role in the various tribes, but in Taylor's case, women were not involved in any big, governmental issues.
