George Catlin painted a variety of Native American chiefs during his travels through the American West in the 1830s. Notable among them are Chief Mah-to-toh-pa (the Black Hawk), Chief Red Cloud of the Oglala Lakota, and Chief Tuh-kah-nu-qua (the "One-Eyed" chief). His portraits aimed to capture the dignity and individuality of Native American leaders, showcasing their cultural significance and the impacts of westward expansion. Catlin's works are considered important historical documents as well as artistic achievements.
