Here is a description of the image:

This is a sepia-toned portrait photograph of a man identified as "Pho-no-gi-zhik' (Hole in the Sky), A Chippewa Chief." The man is seated in a chair and facing forward, looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. He is dressed in a jacket and a pair of trousers, appearing in the style of the time. He is wearing moccasins on his feet.

His hair is long and partly braided, with the braids falling over his shoulders. He also wears what appears to be a beaded necklace or adornment.

The photograph is mounted on a card, and at the bottom, there is handwritten text in elegant cursive that provides the man's name and his tribal affiliation. The background is a simple, blurred setting with no discernible details. The overall quality of the photograph suggests it is an antique or vintage image.
