By that logic it makes one wonder if there was a Chief Briggs & a Chief

No prob, and you're right, a lot of places in N.A. have native names
like Michigan, Mississippi, etc. It's no special feat that we steal the
names of their greatest Chiefs to name engines, cars, trucks, and
airplanes, after all the early pioneers took their land without much
gumption either.
