Hanging Cloud

.

According to Morse, "Aazhawigiizhigokwe" wore war paint, carried full weapons, and took part in battles, raids and hunting parties. She was a full member of the war council, performed war dances, and participated in all warrior ceremonies. Shortly after father's death in 1855, her village was ambushed by her Mdewakanton uncle, Chief "Shák'pí". In this ambush, she defended her village and killed a son of Chief "Shák'pí", her cousin. Armstrong recorded how she was very proud of that period of her life.

"Aazhawigiizhigokwe" lived near Rice Lake, Wisconsin. She became the wife of Edward Dingley in 1857, and had a son. Her husband served in the Union Army during the American Civil War but when assumed dead, she remarried. After the War, when her first husband returned to Wisconsin and heard of his wife's remarriage, they made arrangements to meet with each other and agreed to let her maintain her second marriage. She worked for a many years as a housekeeper for a local lumber baron. She died in 1919.
