Your question makes the false assumption that there has only ever been one Shawnee chief - in fact there have been hundreds.

The Shawnee were historically divided into many bands and many villages, each with their own chiefs; there were also war chiefs, clan chiefs, peace chiefs and tribal elder.

Just a few Shawnee chiefs were :

  • Waapameepto (also called Big Jim)
  • Black Bob
  • Weyapiersenicah (Blue Jacket)
  • Ma‛ka-täwikashä (Black Hoof)
  • Paxinos
  • Tenskwatawa
  • Tecumseh
  • Nererahhe
  • Mkah-day-way-may-qua (Black Fish)
  • Cornstalk
  • Payta Kootha
