"Mandan Indian Ha-Na-Tah-Muah, Wolf Chief" is a notable oil painting by the American artist George Catlin, created in the 19th century during one of his expeditions to the Western United States. George Catlin (1796–1872) was a painter, writer, and traveler who dedicated much of his career to documenting the lives and cultures of Native American peoples, with a particular focus on those living on the Great Plains. Catlin's body of work is significant for its ethnographic importance and artistic merit, providing a valuable historical record of indigenous cultures during a period of rapid change and displacement.

The painting depicts Ha-Na-Tah-Muah, also known as Wolf Chief, a distinguished member of the Mandan tribe. The Mandan were a Native American people whose historical territory lay in what is now North Dakota, and they were known for their elaborate religious ceremonies and earthen lodge dwellings. Catlin's portrayal of Wolf Chief is part of his larger Indian Gallery, a collection of works that aimed to capture the likenesses and spirit of the Native American people he encountered.

In "Mandan Indian Ha-Na-Tah-Muah, Wolf Chief," Catlin illustrates the chief in traditional attire, with specific attention to the details of his dress, ornaments, and the regalia that signify his status within the tribe. The painting is characterized by Catlin's use of color and his ability to convey the dignity and presence of his subject. As with many of his portraits, Catlin's intent was to preserve the image of the indigenous peoples of North America, whom he believed were facing the threat of extinction due to the westward expansion of European-American settlers and the consequent loss of their traditional ways of life.

The painting is not only an artistic endeavor but also an important historical document, reflecting the complex interactions between Native Americans and European Americans during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to the Mandan people and their culture, as well as to the broader efforts of George Catlin to record and honor the native inhabitants of the continent. Today, Catlin's works, including "Mandan Indian Ha-Na-Tah-Muah, Wolf Chief," are held in various museum collections and are studied for their contribution to the understanding of Native American history and art history.
