"Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America" is a travelogue written by the Irish-Canadian painter Paul Kane following his extensive travels through parts of Canada and the United States between 1845 and 1848. First published in 1859, the book chronicles Kane's adventurous journey as he set out to document the lives, customs, and appearances of the Indigenous peoples of North America through his art. Kane's work is significant as it provides a rich visual and narrative record of Native American cultures during a period of profound change and before the impact of European settlement could irreversibly alter their traditional ways of life.

Kane's narrative is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the daily life, spiritual beliefs, and social structures of various Indigenous groups, including the Ojibwa, Cree, Blackfoot, Haida, and many others. His observations are complemented by his artistic work; the sketches, oil paintings, and watercolors he produced during his travels are considered an important part of Canadian heritage and art history.

The book is structured as a series of vignettes and anecdotes, detailing Kane's experiences as he traveled by canoe, horseback, and on foot, often enduring harsh conditions and relying on the hospitality and knowledge of the Indigenous peoples he encountered. "Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America" is not only a significant contribution to ethnographic literature but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve cultural histories at moments of transition. Its publication provided European audiences with one of the first detailed and illustrated accounts of the diverse cultures of North American Indigenous peoples, as seen through the eyes of a European-Canadian artist during the mid-19th century.
