A fact from Maungwudaus appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 September 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that when it was sold in 2002, a painting of the Ojibwe performer Maungwudaus(pictured) was the second-most expensive artwork ever sold in Canada?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: One of the books has no page numbers on Google Books. I was unable to find out more information on his other children partially due to many unavailable pages.
Overall: Though no source was included in the nomination, I was able to verify the hook using the sources in the article. However, the quote is from an article written almost 20 years ago. Maybe clarify that at the time it was sold, the portrait was the second-most valuable artwork in Canada. (apart from this and the QPQ (which I assume is still in progress), this DYK seems good to go) GeneralPoxter (talk • contribs) 16:21, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
GeneralPoxter I already completed the QPQ (linked above). I am just waiting for that nominator to complete their QPQ for their nomination. ALT1 ... that a painting of Maungwudaus(pictured), an Ojibwe performer and herbalist, was the second-most valuable artwork in Canada at the time it was sold?

Here is a photograph which for some reason an edit filter is stopping me adding.
And (I think) the Catlin portrait, although frankly it does not look very similar.
My comment at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports seems to have disappeared without trace but for some reason I’m allowed to make the edit I wanted now. There is a group photo too.
