The "North American Indian Portfolio" is a significant work by the American painter and author George Catlin, first published in 1844. This collection is a vivid and comprehensive visual record of Native American life in the early 19th century, capturing the diverse cultures, traditions, and appearances of various tribes across North America. Catlin, who was deeply fascinated by Native American societies, embarked on several expeditions between 1830 and 1836, traveling extensively through the western territories of the United States. His journeys took him to the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Mississippi River, where he lived among the indigenous peoples and meticulously documented their way of life.

The portfolio consists of a series of lithographs based on Catlin's original paintings and sketches. These images depict a wide range of subjects, including portraits of prominent Native American leaders, scenes of daily life, ceremonial practices, and landscapes. Catlin's work is notable for its ethnographic detail and artistic quality, providing a rare and invaluable glimpse into the lives of Native Americans during a period of significant upheaval and change, as European-American expansion increasingly encroached upon their lands and cultures.

Catlin's "North American Indian Portfolio" was not only an artistic endeavor but also a passionate plea for the preservation of Native American cultures. He believed that the indigenous peoples were on the brink of extinction due to the pressures of colonization and sought to document their existence for future generations. His work has been both praised for its pioneering effort to record Native American life and critiqued for its romanticized and sometimes inaccurate portrayals. Nonetheless, the portfolio remains a crucial historical document and a testament to Catlin's dedication to capturing the rich diversity of Native American societies.
