EspañolCHIEF WAUKON DECORAH
'Waukon Decorah', c. 1780-1868 was a Native American Chief.
According to the Wisconsin Historical Society's Dictionary of Wisconsin History, Chief Waukon Decorah was a Ho-Chunk leader and grandson of Glory of the Morning, a famous Ho-Chunk.
Chief Waukon Decorah cooperated with whites during the Black Hawk War, but his compliance was not rewarded: his people were forced across the Mississippi River into Northeast Iowa and eventually toward Blue Earth County, Minnesota in the newly established state of Minnesota.
Two Northeast Iowa cities bear his name, Decorah and Waukon. The Waukon Indians, of Waukon, Iowa prefer to be named in his honor.
