Glory-of-the-Morning ("Haboguwiga") was the only female chief of the Ho-Chunk/Winnebago nation and also holds the distinction as the first woman to appear in the history of Wisconsin and among the most long-lived in any history.
She married the French military commander Sabrevoir de Carrie sometime after 1730 and allied her people with the French during the French and Indian War. After Carrie was killed in battle in 1760, Glory-of-the-Morning never remarried and continued to lead her people, negotiating a favorable truce with the British after they won the war.
She is said to have lived over 100 years and to have died of natural causes after she was 'called home' by the Thunderbirds, the supernatural entities who presided over her clan, and her children continued her legacy of maintaining a unified nation and advocating the rights of indigenous peoples.
