Wi-jún-jon, also called Pigeon's Egg Head or The Light was a leader of the Assiniboine tribe, which was located in the Great Plains at that time. He is best known as the subject of a painting by George Catlin, a dual portrait portraying him on the left side of the portrait in traditional garb and on the right side in contemporary Anglo-American garb after he was assimilated following an 18-month visit to Washington, D.C. and other cities in 1831 and 1832.
