"Há-tchoo-túc-knee, Snapping Turtle, a Half-breed" is a notable painting by the American artist and ethnographer George Catlin, created in the early 19th century. Catlin is renowned for his extensive body of work that documents the lives and cultures of Native American tribes during a period of significant change and upheaval. This particular painting is part of Catlin's larger effort to capture the diverse and rich traditions of Native American peoples before they were irrevocably altered by European-American expansion.

The subject of the painting, Há-tchoo-túc-knee, also known as Snapping Turtle, is depicted with a dignified and composed demeanor, reflecting Catlin's respect for his subjects. The term "half-breed" in the title indicates that Há-tchoo-túc-knee was of mixed Native American and European ancestry, a common occurrence during this period of American history. This mixed heritage often placed individuals in complex social positions, navigating between different cultural identities and communities.

Catlin's portrayal of Há-tchoo-túc-knee is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of traditional clothing and adornments. The painting is not only a portrait but also a cultural document, providing insights into the attire, personal adornments, and physical appearance of Native Americans of mixed heritage during the 19th century. Catlin's work is often praised for its ethnographic value, as he aimed to preserve a visual record of Native American life for future generations.

"Há-tchoo-túc-knee, Snapping Turtle, a Half-breed" is part of Catlin's larger collection known as the "Indian Gallery," which consists of over 500 paintings. This collection was exhibited widely in the United States and Europe, significantly influencing public perceptions of Native American cultures. Today, Catlin's works are held in high esteem and are housed in various prestigious institutions, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their historical and artistic significance.
