Chief Clinton Rickard, 1882
Here comes another Chief. Clinton Rickard was a part of the Tuscarora people and he once served as the tribe’s Chief. With all the things that he did for his tribe, it can be confirmed that Chief Clinton Rickard was a very tough warrior who did his best to protect his fellow Native Americans. In order to prove this point, he even convinced a lot of Native Americans to join the Armed Forces so that they could protect their tribe during the Second World War. Kudos to his courage and will power!

The man that can be seen in the photo is a Heyókȟa. In simpler terms, a heyókȟa was a medicine man back in the day who served a lot of Native Americans. Yes, you may think of them as shamans but they have a little difference. Back in the 1900s, medicine men used to be a foolish entertainer – in other words, a court jester. They would do a lot of foolish things that would really make Native Americans entertained, spurious, and interested all at the same time.
