It accompanied his speculative theory that the Mandan descended from Prince Madoc’s supposed Welsh colony and migrated from the Ohio country—an idea now discredited—so it records Catlin’s imagination as much as Mandan geography. The sheet is inseparable from the catastrophic 1837 smallpox epidemic, after which Catlin incorrectly concluded that the nation had disappeared. The Mandan survived and form part of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation. Read critically beside his portraits and village views, the chart is valuable evidence of nineteenth-century ethnographic speculation and the extinction narrative imposed on Indigenous peoples.
