"Shon-ta-yi-ga, Little Wolf, a Famous Warrior" is a portrait by the American painter George Catlin, depicting a Native American warrior named Little Wolf. George Catlin (1796–1872) was an American painter, author, and traveler who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Catlin's intention was to record the indigenous cultures of North America, as he feared that westward expansion by European settlers would inevitably lead to the disappearance of the various indigenous tribes and their traditions.

The painting is part of Catlin's larger body of work, which includes hundreds of portraits and scenes from Native American life. Catlin embarked on multiple trips to the Western territories of the United States during the 1830s, where he sought to document the people and their way of life through his art. "Shon-ta-yi-ga, Little Wolf, a Famous Warrior" is a representation of Catlin's dedication to capturing the individual personalities and the cultural significance of his subjects.

The portrait is characterized by Catlin's attention to detail and his use of color to convey the vibrancy of his subject's attire and the dignity of his pose. Little Wolf is depicted in traditional dress, with elements that signify his status as a warrior within his tribe. As with many of Catlin's works, the painting serves not only as a piece of art but also as an ethnographic record, providing insight into the life and appearance of a Native American warrior in the 19th century.

"Shon-ta-yi-ga, Little Wolf, a Famous Warrior" is considered an important work within Catlin's oeuvre and is valued for its historical significance as well as its artistic merit. The painting contributes to the understanding of Native American history and the impact of European expansion on indigenous cultures. It is also a testament to Catlin's mission to preserve the memory of Native American tribes through his art.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in museums that focus on American art and history. It continues to be studied by art historians and scholars of Native American culture for its portrayal of an individual and a way of life that Catlin feared was on the brink of transformation or disappearance.
