George Catlin was a painter who traveled around the west during the 1800s and painted portraits of Native Americans. As a white man, his prospective on Indian culture was biased by his own culture. He tried to capture the Indian ceremonies and cultural events. In spite of his own prejudices, his painting remains a collection of the finest paintings of a vanishing Indian life.
