A delegation of at least three Indian Chiefs visited London in 1825 included Nicholas Vincent Tsaouenhohi (1769-1844), head
Chief of the Hurons at Jeune Lorette and the Chief of the Chippewa. They were introduced to the King by Major-General Sir Isaac
Brock [Tecumseh] and General Carpenter. Jamieson (p.35) records that the King noticed the Chiefs wore the medals of George III
and promptly ordered gold medals with his effigy. In fact the Chiefs received copper-gilt Coronation medals, such as this.
