His Indian name is Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak, or Black Sparrow Hawk, and he was born in 1767 at Saukenuk, the principle city of the Sauk tribe located along the Rock River. Black Hawk was born into the Thunder clan. He chose to have only one wife, As-she-we-qua, or Singing Bird, although in Sauk culture polygamy was the norm. Black Hawk and Singing Bird had five children - two girls and three boys.
In the Spiritualist Churches, Black Hawk is considered a saint and served as an Indian Spirit Guide. In the Spiritualist tradition, anyone who is recognized as doing the work of the Creator is considered a saint, whether or not they have been officially canonized by the Catholic Church. In New Orleans Voudou, Black Hawk is called a Voudou saint by some practitioners and considered a loa by others. To contemporary Sauk and Fox Indians, he is honored as an ancestral spirit, as he is among Southern conjure workers and rootworkers.
To spiritualists, Black Hawk fights injustices and will come to your aid when called upon, even fighting battles you are too weak to fight for yourself. However, he can be petitioned for much more than fighting battles. Petition Black Hawk for:
- Enemy Work
- Protection
- Domination
- Healing
- Court Case
- Justice
- Leadership
- Boss Fix
- Loyalty
- Fidelity
- Adopted children
- Revenge
- Family
Black Hawk can be offered peppermints and sweets, fruits, corn, tobacco, cedar and sage. Water is the best libation offering for him. In New Orleans, there is the old custom of offering him red beans and rice on Mondays and spaghetti and meatballs on Wednesdays. I am quite sure he would enjoy a bit of fry bread, if you are so inclined to make it. Check out my personal recipe in the section below.
