He is certainly Bow and Quiver, painted by George Catlin in 1832 and described as the head chief of his village. I cannot however find any other references to him, so I cannot say what band he belonged to.

Hi Frank,
A few more details, but no band I'm sorry to say.
He was apparently Isa Koni, Isaconee or Esacony (Wandering Wolf), according to Kavanagh (Comanche Political History pp.238-239). Kavanagh notes however that "the divisional affiliation of [these] Comanches is unclear".
Nye (Carbine & Lance p.8) says that he was also called Sequi-to-tori (Splashing the Mud), although Kavanagh is skeptical about this. Nye doesn't mention a band either.
It seems that this chief was a signatory of an 1835 treaty.
