"Three Riccarree Indians" is a painting by the American artist George Catlin, renowned for his extensive work documenting Native American cultures in the 19th century. Created during Catlin's travels across North America, this artwork is part of his larger effort to capture the lives and appearances of Indigenous peoples before their cultures were significantly altered by European settlement.

The painting depicts three members of the Arikara tribe, also known as the Riccarree, who were native to the Missouri River area in present-day North Dakota. Catlin's portraits are known for their attention to detail and ethnographic accuracy, aiming to portray the subjects with respect and authenticity. The Arikara people, like many other tribes, faced significant challenges during Catlin's time, including displacement and conflict due to westward expansion.

Catlin's work is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its historical importance. His paintings serve as a visual record of Native American life during a period of great change. Catlin traveled extensively, visiting over 50 tribes and producing hundreds of paintings, which he later exhibited in the United States and Europe. His dedication to documenting these cultures was driven by a belief that they were vanishing and needed to be preserved for future generations.

"Three Riccarree Indians" is part of Catlin's Indian Gallery, a collection that was eventually acquired by the Smithsonian Institution. The painting, like many others in the collection, provides insight into the clothing, hairstyles, and adornments typical of the Arikara people. Catlin's work remains a valuable resource for understanding the diversity and richness of Native American cultures in the 19th century, offering a window into a world that has since undergone profound transformation.
