Note that almost all Native Americn tribes did not have "chiefs". This was something that the U.S. wanted them to have and forced them to name someone as "chief". To the tribes this was meaningless.

"An important member of the Winnebago tribe which inhabited the Great Lakes region of United States, Hoo-Wan-Ne-Ka or Little Elk, was a war chief who fought for the British in the War of 1812. After the war concluded, he swore allegiance to the United States and later signed treaties at the Prairie du Chien council in 1825 and at Fort Armstrong in 1832. During the summer of 1824, Hoo-Wan-Ne-Ka traveled to the White House as a delegate for the Winnebago, where he addressed President Monroe and Congress, along with various foreign envoys and Colonel McKenney. For this portrait, he requested that he be depicted as he appeared at the time of his address."
(MCKENNEY, Thomas L. (1785-1859) and James HALL (1793-1868))
