Carrie Cornplanter (1887–1918) was a Native American artist of the Seneca tribe.
Little is recorded of Cornplanter's life save that she was the elder sister of Jesse Cornplanter, had a sister named Anna, and had children of her own, and that her native name was "dédon".
Carrie's paintings are among the earliest known by an American Indian woman to depict traditional aspects of native life.
Keppler likely purchased the piece directly from the artist or from a member of her family.
[4] Her sister Anna and two of Carrie's daughters were the only members of the family other than Jesse to survive; the children were left destitute by the loss of their mother and were placed in Jesse's care when he returned home from World War I in Europe.
