"Okee-makee-quid Chippeway Chief" is a significant portrait featured in the renowned publication "The History of the Indian Tribes of North America," authored by Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall. This work, published in the mid-19th century, is a comprehensive collection of biographical sketches and lithographic portraits of Native American leaders, aiming to document and preserve the history and culture of various indigenous tribes during a period of rapid change and displacement.

Okee-makee-quid, also known as Chief of the Chippeway (Ojibwe) tribe, is one of the many indigenous leaders whose likeness and story were captured in this monumental work. The portrait of Okee-makee-quid, like others in the collection, was based on original paintings by Charles Bird King, who was commissioned by McKenney, then the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, to create a visual record of the Native American delegates visiting Washington, D.C.

The publication of "The History of the Indian Tribes of North America" was a collaborative effort between McKenney, who provided the historical context and biographical details, and Hall, who contributed literary and editorial expertise. The lithographs, produced by various artists and lithographers, were instrumental in bringing these images to a wider audience, offering a visual representation of Native American leaders that was unprecedented at the time.

Okee-makee-quid's portrait and accompanying biography provide valuable insights into the life and leadership of a Chippeway chief during a tumultuous era for Native American tribes. The work as a whole serves as an important historical document, reflecting the complex interactions between Native American tribes and the United States government, as well as the broader cultural and societal shifts occurring in North America during the 19th century.
