"Mint, a Mandan Indian Girl, 1832" is a portrait by the American painter George Catlin, depicting a young Native American girl from the Mandan tribe. Catlin, born in 1796, was an artist and traveler who is most renowned for his portraits of Native American peoples and scenes from their lives, which he produced after embarking on a series of journeys to the Western United States during the 1830s. His work is considered an invaluable record of indigenous cultures, many aspects of which have since changed or disappeared.

The painting "Mint, a Mandan Indian Girl, 1832" is part of Catlin's larger body of work that aimed to document the appearance and customs of America's native inhabitants. The portrait is characterized by Catlin's attention to detail and his desire to capture the essence of his subjects with respect and accuracy. It features the young girl in traditional Mandan attire, providing a glimpse into the cultural identity and aesthetics of the Mandan people during the early 19th century.

The Mandan were a Native American tribe originally located in what is now North Dakota, and they were known for their elaborate earth-lodge villages and horticultural practices. By the time Catlin visited them, they had already been in contact with European traders and settlers, but their culture remained relatively intact. Catlin's visit to the Mandan coincided with a period of significant change and pressure for Native American tribes, as westward expansion brought increasing conflict and disease.

"Mint, a Mandan Indian Girl, 1832" is part of Catlin's Indian Gallery, a collection that toured the United States and Europe, providing many people with their first glimpse of the indigenous peoples of the American West. The painting is not only a work of art but also an ethnographic record, reflecting Catlin's dual role as both artist and observer. His works, including this portrait, are often discussed in the context of early American art, ethnography, and the history of the American frontier.

Today, Catlin's paintings are held in various museum collections and are studied for their historical and cultural significance. They offer insights into the lives of Native American tribes before the full impact of European settlement and are valuable for understanding the diversity and richness of Native American cultures during this period. "Mint, a Mandan Indian Girl, 1832" stands as a testament to the Mandan people and to Catlin's enduring legacy as one of the foremost chroniclers of Native American life in the 19th century.
