Black Hawk fought on the side of the British during the War of 1812. He achieved status through his exploits as a warrior, and by leading successful raiding parties. Although he is referred to as “Chief”, in actuality he was a “war leader”, which means he wielded different powers than a civil chief. He later led a band of Sauk and Fox warriors, known as the British Band, against European-American settlers in present-day Illinois and Wisconsin in the 1832 Black Hawk War. After the war, he was captured and taken to the eastern U.S., where he and other leaders toured several cities. Black Hawk died in 1838 in what is now southeastern Iowa.
