Inman's portrait of Tshi-Zun-Hau-Kau (He-Who-Runs-with-Deer) shows an identified Native American leader. Tshi-Zun-Hau-Kau traveled to Washington DC in 1828 with a delegation from the Winnebago nation. He was described as "a warrior of remarkable genius and singular character." In this portrait, he holds a feather-topped staff and cradles a steel hatchet. Around his neck he wears an Indian Peace Medal, a gift typically given to Native American leaders at treaty councils.
