Black Hawk was born about 1767 . He was born into the thunder clan and his father was Pyesa. He was born into a warroir clas and killed his first man at the age of 15.he became an excellant warroiras he grew older. He fought along side the British in the War of 1812 and refused to give up his friendship with them after the war ended. He was married to a woman named Assewequa and they had fibe childern three boys and two girls. Black Hawk War 1832 was the last Indian war east of the Mississippi.
As we read in Jason Berry's book "The Spirit of BlackHawk" we learn that Black Hawk forms a band after the Cheifs of his tribe are riped off. He becomes angery and forms a band of his own. he refuse to give up the land that he feels is rightfully his. He becomes a Heor and a leged of his time. someone who fought hard for what he thppught was right who tired with all his might to not give up his land. In the end the great warrior is forced to leave the land he once called home. His story is a sad one that we can all learn from.
