- Yellow Thunder (c. 1774–1874), fou un cap de la tribu Ho-Chunk (o winnebago). Va signar dos tractat amb els Estats Units en els que va donar el seu nom Ho-Chunk com a Wa-kun-cha-koo-kah i Waun-kaun-tshaw-zee-kau. En 1837, Yellow Thunder formà part d'una delgació Ho-Chunk liderada pel cap principal i que incloïa el destacat líder , que va anar a Washington, DC per demanar la reparació de la invasió nord-americana a les seves terres en Wisconsin. Tot i que molts dels delegats havien estat aliats dels Estats Units durant la Guerra de Black Hawk de 1832, van ser pressionats a signar un tractat de deportació cedint totes les terres winnebago a l'oest del riu Mississipí als Estats Units. Els delegats van considerar que el tractat doanva als Ho-Chunks vuit anys per deixar Wisconsin, la qual cosa els deixaria temps per negociar un nou tractat, però la redacció del document van donar la tribu vuit mesos per desallotjar Wisconsin i reassentar-se en reserves a Iowa i Minnesota. En 1840 el general de l'exèrcit dels Estas Units fou assignat per perseguir els Ho-Chunks que refusaren marxar. Dos caps, Yellow Thunder i Little Soldier, foren arrestats. En adonar-se que una major resistència conduiria a la violència contra el seu poble, els caps van acordar cooperar i van ser posats en llibertat. Yellow Thunder es traslladà fora de la reserva d'Iowa i va tornar a una granja de 40 acres (160.000 m²) a Wisconsin, on va morir en 1874. (ca)
- Yellow Thunder (c. 1774–1874), was a chief of the Ho-Chunk (or Winnebago) tribe. He signed two treaties with the United States in which his Ho-Chunk name was given as Wa-kun-cha-koo-kah and Waun-kaun-tshaw-zee-kau. In 1837, Yellow Thunder was part of a Ho-Chunk delegation headed by principal chief and including noted leader Waukon Decorah, that went to Washington, D.C. to seek redress for American encroachment on their land in Wisconsin. Even though many of the delegates had been U.S. allies during the 1832 Black Hawk War, they were pressured to sign a removal treaty ceding all Ho-Chunk land west of the Mississippi River to the United States. The delegates thought that the treaty gave the Ho-Chunks eight years to leave Wisconsin, which would leave them time to negotiate a new treaty, but the wording on the document gave the tribe eight months to vacate Wisconsin and resettle on reservations in Iowa and Minnesota. In 1840, U.S. Army General Henry Atkinson was assigned to round up the Ho-Chunks who refused to leave. Two chiefs, Yellow Thunder and Little Soldier, were arrested. Realizing that further resistance would lead to violence against their people, the chiefs agreed to cooperate and were released. Yellow Thunder eventually moved off the Iowa reservation and returned to a 40-acre (160,000 m2) farm near Portage, Wisconsin, where he died in late February, 1874. (en)
