'Buffalo Bull, a Grand Pawnee Warrior' and 'The Big Elk, a Famous Omaha Chief' are two renowned works from 1841 by the American artist George Catlin. The creations are part of his seminal work documenting American Indians of the 19th century. Catlin was one of the earliest artists to journey beyond the Mississippi River, and he made five expeditions between 1830 and 1836, sketching and painting what he saw and observed.

'Buffalo Bull, a Grand Pawnee Warrior' depicts a prominent member of the Pawnee, a Large Plains Indian tribe who lived along the Platte, Loup, and Republican rivers in what is now Nebraska and Kansas. Catlin's portrait portrays Buffalo Bull in traditional tribal garments, highlighting his unique and interesting features, evoking a sense of pride and fortitude that underlines the resilience of the tribe.

In contrast, 'The Big Elk, a Famous Omaha Chief' conveys the dignified aura of a much-celebrated leader from the Omaha tribe, which resided in the northeastern part of present-day Nebraska. The portrait emphasizes the regal bearing and imposing stature of The Big Elk and is richly detailed, showcasing Catlin's eye for detail, from the tribal headdress to the elaborate fringed garment.

Through both these artworks, Catlin aimed to create an unbiased visual record of vanishing indigenous cultures, capturing their unique characteristics, way of life, and inherent dignity. His works have gained immense significance, providing meaningful insight into these native communities of the American plains, whose cultures and traditions faced significant upheaval and near extinction during the artist's era.
