Heron Decoy
eugene chief cuffee (1866 – 1941)
Eugene Chief Cuffee: Native American sculptor known for exquisite decoy carvings. Explore his Shinnecock heritage & iconic 'Heron Decoy' art.
The first North American bird decoys were carved by Native Americans. Created by Shinnecock Indian Eugene Cuffee (1866-1941), this unique heron decoy’s long, spindly form and painted feather scheme connects to a tradition that pre-dates European arrival to the East End of Long Island. Cuffee was a hunting guide and house painter, primarily active in Southampton; his decoys are marked by their distinctively elaborate plumage.
