"Mih-Tutta-Hankush, a Mandan Village" is a notable illustration by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, who accompanied German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied on his travels through the North American interior from 1832 to 1834. This artwork is Plate 16 from Volume 2 of the published account of their journey, titled "Travels in the Interior of North America." The illustration captures the Mandan village located along the upper Missouri River, providing a detailed and historically significant portrayal of the indigenous Mandan people and their architectural structures during the early 19th century.

Bodmer's work is particularly valued for its ethnographic accuracy and artistic quality. His illustrations are some of the most important visual records of Native American life during this period, as they were created before the significant cultural and demographic changes that followed westward expansion. "Mih-Tutta-Hankush, a Mandan Village" is a prime example of Bodmer's attention to detail and his commitment to documenting the lives and environments of the Native American tribes he encountered.

The illustration shows the Mandan earth lodges and the surrounding landscape, reflecting the Mandan's sophisticated construction techniques and their adaptation to the Great Plains environment. The artwork is not only a piece of historical documentation but also a work of art that reflects the romantic and picturesque sensibilities of the time, which were characteristic of Bodmer's European background.

Today, "Mih-Tutta-Hankush, a Mandan Village" is considered an important cultural artifact, providing insight into the Mandan way of life and the early encounters between Native Americans and European explorers. The plate, along with the rest of Bodmer's collection from the expedition, is invaluable for historians, anthropologists, and art historians, offering a rare glimpse into a world that has since been transformed.
