This is a photograph of Wis-Ki-Ge-Amatyuk who was a chief and holy man in the Potawatomi tribe. Geronimo, who had heard rumors of Wis-Ki-Ge-Amatyuk's magic powers, was intrigued and wanted to meet the chief and holy man. The photograph was taken by Jesse Nusbaum, anthropologist, who visited Wis-Ki-Ge-Amatyuk with William Hale, a Potawatomi interpreter. According to the information written on the back of the photograph, Wis-Ki-Ge-Amatyuk was a prisoner of war for disruption towards the government. He and his brother Wah Quah Bosh Kuk were arrested for refusing to send children from their tribe to an Indian school where they would be Americanized.
