"American Indian Tribes Of North America" by Thomas L. McKenney is a seminal work that offers a comprehensive and detailed account of the diverse Native American tribes across the North American continent. Published in the early 19th century, this work is notable for its extensive documentation and vivid illustrations, which provide valuable insights into the cultures, traditions, and histories of various indigenous groups. McKenney, who served as the Superintendent of Indian Affairs from 1824 to 1830, collaborated with James Hall, a prominent writer and historian, to compile this extensive collection.

The book is particularly renowned for its inclusion of portraits of Native American leaders, which were originally painted by the artist Charles Bird King. These portraits were commissioned by McKenney during his tenure and were intended to preserve the likenesses and honor the legacy of these leaders at a time when their communities were facing significant upheaval and displacement due to U.S. government policies. The portraits were later lithographed and included in the publication, making them accessible to a broader audience.

McKenney's work is both a historical document and a reflection of the attitudes and perspectives of its time. While it provides valuable ethnographic information and serves as a visual archive of Native American leaders, it also reflects the paternalistic and often condescending views held by many government officials of the era. Despite these biases, "American Indian Tribes Of North America" remains an important resource for understanding the early 19th-century interactions between Native American tribes and the U.S. government, as well as the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of North America.
