- Description
Natawpindawqua (also known as Charatchou, Tshayrotshoankaw or, in English, Smoker) was a young warrior when he made this speech in 1816. His father, Serachou, was chief of a village at Taycheedah, near Fond du Lac, and after fighting with the British 1812-15 he soon died. Natawpindawqua succeeded him about the time he made this speech, and later attended treaty councils at Prairie du Chien (1825) and Butte des Morts (1827 and 1828). His village in 1829 contained about 145 inhabitants.
