"Buffalo Bull's Back Fat, Head Chief, Blood Tribe" is a portrait by the American painter George Catlin, depicting a prominent leader of the Kainai Nation (Blood Tribe), which is part of the Blackfoot Confederacy. Painted in 1832, this work is part of Catlin's larger project to document the indigenous peoples of the Americas, particularly those living on the Great Plains. Catlin was among the earliest European-American artists to travel extensively among the Plains Indians, capturing their images and culture through his art.

The painting is rendered in oil on canvas and is characteristic of Catlin's style, which aimed to faithfully represent his subjects with an emphasis on ethnographic accuracy. "Buffalo Bull's Back Fat, Head Chief, Blood Tribe" showcases the chief in traditional attire, with significant cultural and symbolic elements that reflect his status within the tribe. The chief's name, Buffalo Bull's Back Fat, is indicative of the importance of the buffalo to the Plains tribes, both as a food source and as a central element of their spiritual and cultural life.

As with many of Catlin's portraits, the work serves as a historical record of a way of life that was under threat during the artist's lifetime. The mid-19th century was a period of significant change and conflict for the Native American tribes, as westward expansion and government policies led to the loss of their lands and traditional ways of life. Catlin's paintings, including "Buffalo Bull's Back Fat, Head Chief, Blood Tribe," are valuable for their contribution to the visual history of Native American peoples and are often studied for their ethnographic, artistic, and historical significance.

Today, Catlin's works are held in various museum collections and are considered important artifacts of American art history. They continue to be exhibited and studied for their portrayal of Native American culture and the insights they provide into the interactions between indigenous peoples and European-American society in the 19th century.
