Shaumonekusse (Prairie Wolf), Oto Charles Bird King

Nice visual hint. Tell me more, seems like it might be good.

I did find this.

Shaumonekusse was described as a witty and sociable person, and "a daring, active, and successful warrior. We are not aware of his having any hereditary claims to the chieftainship of his tribe, to which he has risen gradually by his own merits. He is a person of deep penetration, and is capable of acting with much duplicity on any occasion when he may consider it politic to conceal his real views."[3]
