The Pharoah clan was the ruling family of the Montauk tribe on Long Island. David Pharoah (1835-1878) was elected chief in 1870 and famously fought for the tribe's rights to land and schooling in the state and federal courts. His ability to effectively serve as both religious and political leader to his people must have impressed Winslow Homer on his visit to Montauk in 1874, inspiring him to create the present work.
