"Osage warrior of the Wha-sha-she band (a subdivision of Hunkah)" is a notable painting by the American artist George Catlin, depicting a member of the Wha-sha-she band of the Osage Nation. Created in the 19th century, this work is part of Catlin's extensive portfolio of Native American portraits and scenes, which he produced during his travels through the western territories of the United States. Catlin, born in 1796 and passing in 1872, dedicated much of his career to documenting the lives and appearances of various Indigenous peoples, aiming to preserve their cultures amidst the rapid expansion of European-American settlers and the consequent displacement of Native tribes.

The painting captures the Osage warrior in traditional attire, showcasing the distinct cultural attributes of the Wha-sha-she band, a subdivision of the larger Hunkah division within the Osage Nation. Catlin's attention to detail in the warrior's dress, weaponry, and personal adornments provides valuable insight into the material culture of the Osage people during the period. His work is particularly significant given the scarcity of visual records from this era of Native American history.

George Catlin's artistic endeavors were driven by a sense of urgency to record the faces and customs of Native American tribes before they were irrevocably altered by the encroachment of Western civilization. His paintings are now considered invaluable ethnographic records, as well as works of art that communicate the dignity and individuality of his subjects. "Osage warrior of the Wha-sha-she band (a subdivision of Hunkah)" is held in high esteem for its historical importance and its role in Catlin's mission to capture the essence of Native American societies prior to their transformation by external forces.
