INDIAN PEACE MEDALS: Tall Chief
had in his possession when he died in 1918 four peace
medals. Three of these medals (Spanish Medal and two
Thomas Jefferson medals) had been given to his ancestors
that were hereditary chiefs (Full Blood Quapaw father to
Full Blood Quapaw son). Tall Chief was given the George
Washington medal around 1902 being recognized as the
last hereditary chief of the Quapaw tribe. The
Washington peace medal was struck in the twentieth
century, more than a decade after the medals ceased to
be designed specifically for the Indians, so as to
complete the series of round medals that began with the
Thomas Jefferson medal in 1801.
