Description: This silver peace medal was not presented to the Great Chief Washakie himself, but to have chief that served under him. The name of chief which Washakie is engraved on the middle in the same context as President Grant. They were both very important people to the Shoshonis and they both had great power and authority over the Shoshonis. This silver peace medal was not made by the U.S. Government but perhaps by some group of people looking for favor with the Great Chief Washakie.
