Leopold Pokagon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Leopold Pokagon
Leopold Pokagon (c. 1775 - 1841) was a Potawatomi ''Wkema'' (leader). Taking over from Topinbee, who died in 1826, Pokagon became the head of the Potawatomi of the Saint Joseph River Valley in Michigan, a band that later took his name. ==Early life and education== Pokagon's early life is surrounded by legend, and many details are known only in the oral histories of the tribe. Stories suggest that he was born an Odawa or Ojibwe, but was raised from a young age by the Potawatomi. His name, ''Pokagon,'' ''poké-igan,'' means "the rib," but literally means "something used to shield". As the ribs shield the heart, so too did Pokagon shield his people. Pokagon converted to the Roman Catholic Church.〔(''Atlas of Berrien County'', p. 4 )〕
