Biography

Name

Kaǧinųpaga is from kaǧi, "the northern crow or raven," and nųp(a), "two." Kaǧinųpaga is listed by Radin as an Upper Moiety name, but names beginning Kaǧi- are also found in the Bear Clan, since the crow is considered the bear among birds.

"The lineage of the Blackhawk family, as given by John Blackhawk, is as follows: First, Chiakamanika (He who goes on the village), wife unknown. Second, his son, Naxi-karajusaip-ka (Fourth son, Blackhawk).
