Biography

Birth

George was born in May 1845.^[1]

Names

His name was recorded as being Pink He Con Kah,^[2] which appears to be for Pįkik’ųga, from pįkik’ų, "neat"; and -ga, a definite article suffix used in personal names. So his name means merely "Neat,"^[3] which does little to illuminate his clan affiliations.

Death

His date of death is unknown, but it is nearly certain that he died in Wisconsin.
