This 1899 "Chief" Silver Certificate issue is the only and remains the first use of a central imagery featuring a Native American. The face of the note features the vignette of Chief Running Antelope from the Hunkpapa Lakota tribe. This particular note has since then faced criticism for inaccurately depicting the Chief wearing a Pawnee headdress instead of the original Sioux headdress, which was deemed too large for the available space. Despite this, the note continues to enjoy widespread popularity as it pays homage to the prevailing pop culture of its era, characterized by the dominance of the Wild West theme.
