"Saukie and Fox Indians" is a notable artwork by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, who is renowned for his detailed and sensitive depictions of Native Americans and the landscapes of the early 19th-century American frontier. Created during Bodmer's travels with German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied between 1832 and 1834, this work is part of a larger collection of aquatints and paintings that document the life and culture of various Indigenous peoples encountered during their expedition.

The artwork captures members of the Sauk (Saukie) and Meskwaki (Fox) tribes, who were closely allied and shared similar Algonquian languages. Bodmer's portrayal is significant for its ethnographic accuracy and artistic merit, providing a valuable historical record of these tribes at a time when they were facing immense pressure from European-American expansion.

In "Saukie and Fox Indians," Bodmer's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the subjects' clothing, accessories, and physical features, which contributes to the understanding of the cultural practices and social structures of the Sauk and Meskwaki people during the early 19th century. The artwork is part of Bodmer's larger body of work that remains an important source for both the study of Native American ethnography and the history of American art.

As a piece of historical documentation, "Saukie and Fox Indians" is held in high esteem by historians, art critics, and descendants of the depicted tribes for its contribution to preserving the visual heritage of Native American societies. The artwork is often referenced in discussions of Karl Bodmer's legacy as one of the most accomplished chroniclers of the American West and its indigenous inhabitants before the drastic changes brought about by westward expansion.
