Biography

Rucgeskaga was Ho-Chunk.

Augah is a minor corruption of Hága(ga), a birth order name for the third born son. In the list of sons, Old Gray-haired Decora, and Raisin Decora, were given birth order names, so this is in keeping with the structure of the list. Given a birth spacing of 1746, 1750, we could expect Hága to have been born ca. 1752. He could not therefore, be the offspring of Flight of Geese, who married his father late in his life.
