Noka. Avchief ( if the western Chippewa 

 in the latter half of the 18th century, who 

 attained some celebrity as a leader and 

 hunter. The chief incident of his life 

 relates to the war between the Mdewa- 

 kanton and the Chippewa for possession 

 of the banks of the ufiper Mississi])pi. In 

 1769, the year following the 1-attle of 

 Crow Wing, Minn. — where the Chip- 

 pewa, though maintaining their ground, 

 were hampered by inferior numbers — 

 they determined to renew the attack on 

 the Mdewakanton with a larger force. 

 This war party, under the leadership 

 of Noka, referred to as "Old Noka" 

 evidently on account of his advanced age, 

 attacked Shakopee's village on Minnesota 

 r., Minn., the result being a drawn battle, 

 the Chippewa retiring to their own terri- 

 tory without inflicting material damage on 

 their enemy. Regarding Noka's skill as 

 a hunter, it is said that he killed in one 

 day's hunt, starting from the mouth of 

 Crow "Wing r., Minn., 16 elk, 4 buffalo, 5 

 deer, 3 bears, a lynx, and a porcupine.
