Chief Clinton Rickard – 1882
Here we have another chief, Clinton Rickard, who was part of the Tuscarora people and also served as one of their Chiefs. Rickard did so much for his tribe, and this contribution led him to become a tough warrior in the eyes of his people. He played his fighter role so well to the point where he would give his life for his Native Americans. He was influential in convincing a lot of young people to join the Armed forces as he worked to protect his tribe during the Second World War. Great courage and willpower!

Black Eagle – 1932
The photo highlighted here is that of a Heyókȟa, a group of people who served as medicine gurus in earlier times and would serve a lot of Native Americans. Many people often confuse them for Shamans, but they have striking differences. In the 1900s, medicine men were seen as comedic entertainers or, as many people would put it – court jesters. The actions and behaviors would somehow bring lots of cheers, laughter, and entertainment to those looking on.
