No, John Smith was not a Native American chief; he was an English soldier, explorer, and author known for his role in the establishment of the Jamestown colony in Virginia in 1607. He is often associated with interactions with Native American tribes, particularly the Powhatan Confederacy, where he claimed to have been saved by Pocahontas. However, he was not a leader or chief among Native Americans.
