The Native American chief shown on the buffalo nickel is actually a composite image created by the coin's designer, James Earle Fraser. Fraser was never entirely clear about which men served as his models but the most-commonly cited sources indicates the chiefs were Iron Tail, a Sioux, Big Tree, a Kiowa, and Two Moons, a Cheyenne.
