"Hunting Man" would be Wąkwažoniga, but this name is unattested.
Why two of John Waukon's sons adopted the white surname "Smith" is unknown.
Hexom says (29), "John Waukon has one daughter, Mrs. Henry Big Fire, and two sons, Henry Smith ('Hunting Man') and John Smith ('Che-wy-scha-ka') still living [as of 1913]."
