Biography:
He is "The Man" - i.e. the chief of the Chickasaw tribe in the story (361). In "Red Leaves" the character named Issetibbeha is Ikkemotubbe's son. But in this story and others, he is Ikkemotubbe's uncle. He does not appear directly in the narrative of "A Courtship." Before its events begin he signs a treaty with General Jackson, and he "enters the earth" - that is, dies - about two years after the main story ends (363).
