George Catlin (1796–1872) was an American painter, author, and traveler who is best known for his extensive work documenting the Native American tribes of the Old West. His dedication to capturing the lives, customs, and appearances of Native American peoples has left an indelible mark on the history of American art and anthropology. Catlin's work is characterized by its ethnographic detail and its commitment to portraying the dignity and humanity of his subjects.

Catlin embarked on his first journey to the American West in 1830, inspired by a desire to record the "manners and customs" of Native American tribes before they were altered or obliterated by the encroachment of European-American settlers. Over the next six years, he traveled extensively, visiting over 50 tribes and creating hundreds of paintings and sketches. His works include portraits, landscapes, and scenes of daily life, ceremonies, and rituals. These visual records were often accompanied by detailed written descriptions, providing a comprehensive ethnographic account of the tribes he encountered.

One of Catlin's most significant contributions is his collection known as the "Indian Gallery," which consists of over 500 paintings. This collection was first exhibited in 1837 and later toured the United States and Europe, bringing widespread attention to the cultures of Native American tribes. Catlin's work was pioneering in its approach, combining art with anthropology and offering a unique perspective on the lives of indigenous peoples during a period of significant change and upheaval.

Despite facing criticism and financial difficulties during his lifetime, Catlin's legacy has endured. His works are now housed in major institutions such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Gallery of Art, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their historical and cultural significance. Through his art and writings, George Catlin provided an invaluable window into the world of Native American tribes, preserving their heritage for future generations.
