"Woman of the Snake-Tribe" and "Woman of the Cree-Tribe" are two notable works by the Swiss-French artist Karl Bodmer, who is renowned for his detailed and ethnographically significant depictions of Native American life in the early 19th century. These works are part of a larger collection of illustrations that Bodmer created during his travels across North America from 1832 to 1834, accompanying the German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied. The expedition aimed to document the landscapes, flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the American frontier, and Bodmer's illustrations played a crucial role in achieving this goal.

Bodmer's portraits are celebrated for their meticulous attention to detail and ethnographic accuracy, capturing the unique cultural attributes and dignified presence of the Native American subjects. "Woman of the Snake-Tribe" and "Woman of the Cree-Tribe" are exemplary of his ability to convey the individuality and humanity of his subjects, countering the often stereotypical and generalized portrayals of Native Americans prevalent in contemporary European art and literature.

The "Woman of the Snake-Tribe" depicts a member of the Shoshone people, commonly referred to as the Snake Tribe. The Shoshone were known for their nomadic lifestyle and their skills in hunting and gathering. Bodmer's portrayal is rich in detail, showcasing traditional clothing, adornments, and the serene yet resilient demeanor of the woman.

Similarly, the "Woman of the Cree-Tribe" illustrates a member of the Cree Nation, one of the largest indigenous groups in North America. The Cree were primarily hunters and trappers, and their culture was deeply intertwined with the natural environment of the northern plains and woodlands. Bodmer's illustration captures the intricate beadwork and garments typical of Cree women, reflecting their craftsmanship and cultural heritage.

These works not only serve as valuable historical records but also as artistic achievements that highlight Bodmer's skill and sensitivity as an artist. His contributions have provided subsequent generations with a visual understanding of the diverse cultures and peoples that inhabited North America during a period of significant change and upheaval.
