1-Not even Ozpin, who you'd think would know this sort of thing, was aware that he was speaking with the previous High Leader of the White Fang's daughter when he questioned her following the events of the Volume 1 Finale.

2-So, I wonder, is it possible that Ghira, despite being the previous leader of the White Fang, and the current Chieftan of Menagerie, isn't well known around the world? 1-You are jumping too far into conclusions. Remember we didn't even see their whole conversation. It's very likely that Ozpin already knew and brought it up offscreen, or simply didn't bring it up because he didn't feel it mattered at the moment.

2-Menagerie is at the butt of the world, and there doesn't seem to be any real communication between the kingdoms and Menagerie based on the lack of a CCT there. Not to mention that the whole nation feels rather...isolationist to me, either by choice or because the others don't interact too much with them.

So, I'm inclined to believe that most people outside Menagerie know about it, some probably know they have a Chieftain, but not many know the finer details like who that Chieftain is.
