"Black Hawk, Prominent Sauk Chief, Sauk And Fox" is a portrait by George Catlin, an American painter, author, and traveler who specialized in the depiction of Native Americans in the Old West. Created in 1832, this artwork is part of Catlin's broader effort to document the indigenous peoples of the Americas, particularly those whose cultures were increasingly under threat from westward expansion and the policies of the United States government.

The painting captures Black Hawk, also known as Makataimeshekiakiak, a leader and warrior of the Sauk tribe. Black Hawk gained prominence during the early 19th century, particularly through his role in the conflict known as the Black Hawk War in 1832, which pitted a coalition of Native American tribes against the United States. The portrait is significant for its historical value, providing a visual record of an important Native American figure during a tumultuous period.

Catlin's work is characterized by his firsthand observations, as he traveled extensively throughout the American West, sketching and painting hundreds of portraits, scenes, and landscapes. His dedication to capturing the likenesses and customs of Native American tribes was driven by a sense of urgency to preserve these cultures before they were altered or destroyed by encroaching European-American settlement.

"Black Hawk, Prominent Sauk Chief, Sauk And Fox" is part of Catlin's Indian Gallery, a collection that was exhibited in the United States and Europe during the 19th century, offering many viewers their first glimpse into the lives and appearances of Native American peoples. The portrait is not only a work of art but also an ethnographic record, reflecting Catlin's dual role as both artist and observer. Today, the painting is considered an important artifact within the study of American art history and Native American history, providing insight into the representation of indigenous figures during the era and the complex dynamics between Native American communities and the United States.
