Birth

Hąhemąnįwįga was born about 1855 (1914, 1917 censuses), in Wisconsin, where her parents had been born. (1910 Fed. census)

Name

"Night Walking Woman" is an attested name in the Bear Clan. The Hocąk is Hąhemąnįwįga, from hąhe, "night, darkness"; mąnį, "to walk, she walks"; -wį-, a feminine gender infix; and -ga, a definite article suffix used in personal names. Her name may also be translated, as Radin does, as "She Who Walks in Darkness." (Radin)
