About the book

George Catlin's North American Indians draws on his travels among Indigenous peoples of North America in the 1830s. Letters and observations describe ceremonies, clothing, hunting, games and everyday life, accompanied by the artist's efforts to record the people and cultures he encountered. The book preserves an important historical witness to societies facing accelerating pressure from United States expansion. Catlin's admiration and urgency are inseparable from his perspective as an outsider, making the work both a valuable visual and written record and a document of nineteenth-century attitudes.
