Last hereditary Chief of the Quapaw Tribe to be chosen in the traditional manner
Tall Chief (ca. 1840–1918) was a hereditary chief of the Quapaw Tribe and a peyote roadman.[1][2][3] He served in this position after his father, Lame Chief, died in 1874, until his own death in 1918 at around 78 years old.[4]
Tall Chief was the last individual to be selected in the traditional manner from a hereditary chief line among the Quapaw people.[5][6][7][8][9] Tall Chief also facilitated the introduction of the Peyote Religion among the Quapaw and Osage people.[2]
