"Indians Hunting the Bison" is a notable aquatint engraving by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, which serves as plate 31 in Volume 2 of the book "Travels in the Interior of North America." The work was published between 1839 and 1843 as part of a series documenting Bodmer's journey through the American Midwest and Upper Missouri River region. Accompanying German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied from 1832 to 1834, Bodmer was tasked with capturing the landscapes, peoples, flora, and fauna they encountered.

This particular plate vividly depicts a scene of Native American hunters engaged in a bison hunt. The image is remarkable for its dynamic representation of movement and the dramatic interaction between the hunters and their prey. Bodmer's attention to detail and his commitment to ethnographic accuracy provide a valuable historical record of the indigenous peoples' hunting practices during the early 19th century.

The artwork reflects Bodmer's skillful use of aquatint, a printmaking technique that allows for the creation of tonal effects, thereby producing a watercolor-like finish. "Indians Hunting the Bison" stands out as a significant contribution to the visual anthropology of the Great Plains Native Americans and is an important artifact of early Western American art. It offers insight into the life and culture of the Plains tribes before the significant changes brought about by westward expansion and is considered a masterpiece of early lithography and travel literature illustration.
