![Ojibwa Delegation Group portrait of Ojibwa Chiefs from Bad River, Lac Courte Oreilles, and Lac du Flambeau, in Washington, D.C. The reason they were there is in dispute.

Seated in chairs: Edawigijig "Both Sides of the Sky" (Bad River Chief and signer of 1854 Treaty), Kiskitawag or Giishkitawag "Cut Ear" (signed multiple treaties as a warrior of the Octonagon Band, but afterwards was associated with the Bad River Band), Akewainzee (most prominent Chief of the Lac Courte Oreilles band), Nizhogiizhig "Second Day," Oshoga. Standing: Vincent Conyer (interpreter), Ogimagijig, Dr. I.L. Mahan (Indian Agent in Bayfield, 1878-1879), Wasigwanabi, George P.
