Research Notes
Name
Her Hocąk name was ChaChaRooKaWinKah, which should be for Cācarukąwįga, "She Covers the Air," in reference to birds. This would be from cāc, "air"; haruką́, "to cover"; -wį-, a feminine gender infix; and -ga, a definite article suffix used in personal names.
In some records her Anglo name is "Clara,"[1] but in others she is called "Carrie". (1905, 1916) She is called "Curley" in the 1905 Wisconsin State census.[2] This is an attempt to transcribe the name "Carrie" spoken with a Hocąk accent, where the letter /r/ sounds like the English letter /l/.
