Yes, Chief is a demigod in Wonder Woman (2017). Although it is not explicitly stated in the English subtitles, Chief introduces himself to Diana in the Blackfoot language as "Napi," which is the name of a Blackfoot culture hero and trickster demigod (often referred to as "Old Man"). Diana, who speaks many languages, understands him and shakes his hand—a gesture of respect she offers to no one else in the film. Actor Eugene Brave Rock confirmed on Twitter that this reveal was scripted and that his character is indeed the demigod Napi.
Based on the internal knowledge of the film Wonder Woman (2017), the character Chief (played by Eugene Brave Rock) is not a demigod.
Chief is introduced as a Native American man who lives in the area near the trenches (No Man's Land) and serves as a smuggler and guide for the group (Diana, Steve Trevor, Sameer, and Charlie).
Here are specific details that establish his role and status:
The summary completely misses the fact that Chief is the Blackfoot demigod Napi, a fact revealed in the film's dialogue (in Blackfoot) and confirmed by the actor.
The summary misses that Diana is the only person who understands Chief's introduction and shakes his hand, acknowledging his status as a fellow divine being.
