Cadzi Cody
Cadzi Cody (KAT see KO dee) was a Shoshone Indian who
lived on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. His Shoshone
name, Codsiogo (Co SEE ko), means "mountain flower." At
least a dozen painted hides have been attributed to Cadzi
Cody on the basis of shared stylistic characteristics.
Because he painted so many hides that look very similar,
some people believe that he painted them to trade rather
than to keep for himself. His hides do not represent his
biography, but rather show various aspects of traditional
Plains life.
