Is this an actual picture of Chief Red Bird and if so how was it authenticated? here seem to be some dispute in my family as to the authenticity of it. He is my 6th gr grandfather. If you could be of any help that would be great! thank you!!

i am not for sure if this is a authentic picture of him or not it showed up as i was doing research on my Family

Thank you John!

your very welcome

I think the picture for this profile has come up before. He died too early, of course, for any authentic photos. It was probably a photo of a generic Native American intended as a place marker. Removed it as it probably has nothing to do with him or his descendants.

Someone may want to consider finding a more appropriate place marker photo to prevent this one from re-emerging... -Ben.

Ben, I did a google image search on that photo and every hit was linked to his name.
It could be an old photo of a painting, but in any case, even if not authentic, - if it is an image everyone recognize as representing a specific person it is correct to use i.
