Black Hawk or Black Sparrow Hawk (Sauk Makataimeshekiakiak (1767-October 3, 1838) was a leader and warrior of the Sauk American Indian tribe in what is now the United States. While he had inherited an important historic medicine bundle, he was not a hereditary civil chief of the Sauk, but was an appointed war chief, and was generally known in English as Black Hawk.
During the War of 1812 he fought on the side of the British. Later he led a band of Sauk and Fox warriors against settlers in Illinois and present-day Wisconsin in the 1832 Black Hawk War. After the war he was captured and taken to the eastern U.S. where he and other British Band leaders toured several cities. Black Hawk died in 1838 in what is now southeastern Iowa. Black Hawk has left behind an enduring legacy through many eponyms, and other tributes. Jim Thorpe is often incorrectly declared as directly related to Black Hawk. (Quote from wikipedia.org)
