- History / Biographical
- Wilfred Langdon Kihn (1898-1957) was an American artist born in Brooklyn, New York. Kihn was best known for his illustrated portraits of American and Canadian Indigenous people, including members of the Blackfoot, Navajo, Pueblo and Tsimshian communities. The individuals in Kihn's portraits were most often depicted wearing traditional and ceremonial clothing rather than their typical clothes. Kihn's art career began in 1919 when he travelled to Montana and created some of his earliest portraits while visiting the Blackfeet Reservation. Throughout the 1920s, Kihn travelled extensively in Canada and the United States, creating portraits of individuals from a diverse range of Indigenous communities. Many of these portraits were put on display as part of a travelling exhibition organized by the Brooklyn Museum. In 1935, Kihn was commissioned by National Geographic to produce Indigenous portraits for publications; this ultimately led to a two-decade career with National Geographic.

- Description
- Side hill gouges, made with a fret saw using 3-ply plywood; horned goat-like figurine with separately glued ears; on left side two legs glued onto body; on right side one glued piece represents shorter legs stop symbolic mountain peaks; saw has created zig-zag appearance in wood; eyes are one bored hole through head. A sidehill Cougar is a mythical Rock Mountain creature of apparently vicious nature who, due to one side of its body having shorter legs than the other, is able to maintain easily a stance on steep mountain sides; the only escape from this animal is to run in the opposite direction so that if the Cougar follows it will fall because the position of its legs will be reversed. A.C. Leighton wished to market cheap, locally made souvenirs; this is a prototype but they were never produced in quantity.
