"Sha-ko-ka, A Mandan Girl" is a portrait by the American painter George Catlin, depicting a young Native American girl from the Mandan tribe. Painted in 1832 during one of Catlin's journeys to the western territories of the United States, the artwork is part of his broader effort to document the indigenous peoples of the Americas, particularly those whose cultures were increasingly under threat from westward expansion and European-American settlement.

The painting is characterized by Catlin's attention to ethnographic detail and his desire to capture the essence of his subjects. "Sha-ko-ka" translates to "Mint" in the Mandan language, and the girl is portrayed with a sense of individuality and dignity. She is typically shown wearing traditional Mandan attire, which Catlin rendered with care to reflect the cultural practices and materials used by the tribe.

George Catlin's work, including "Sha-ko-ka, A Mandan Girl," is significant for its historical and cultural value. Catlin's paintings are some of the most important visual records of Native American life in the 19th century. They provide insights into the customs, clothing, and daily life of the tribes he visited, at a time when these cultures were facing dramatic changes and challenges to their traditional ways of life.

The portrait is part of Catlin's Indian Gallery, a collection that toured the United States and Europe in the 19th century, aiming to educate the public about Native American cultures and the impacts of colonization. Today, Catlin's works, including "Sha-ko-ka, A Mandan Girl," are held in various museum collections and are studied for their artistic merit as well as their ethnographic significance.
