Description: 
Described in Vol. II, pp. 149-150, 210, 212. Caption from Truettner catalog of Catlin's Indian Gallery. Entry from Catlin's 1848 catalog reads, "Kee-o-kuk, the Running Fox; present Chief of the tribe. Shield on his arm and staff of office (sceptre) in his hand; necklace of grisly bear's claws, over the skin of a white wolf, on his neck. This man, during the Black Hawk War, kept two-thirds of the warriors of the tribe neutral, and was therefore appointed chief by General Scott, in treaty, with the consent of the nation." Originally painted in 1835 (Truettner, 1979, pp. 142-143).
