oh great he was minnesotas first black copIn 1837, Bonga tracked a Chippewa Indian named Che-Ga Wa Skung for nearly a week through winter snows and hostile territory. The Indian, wanted for murder, was eventually caught by Bonga and returned to authorities at Fort Snelling for the first trial for a criminal offense in what is now Minnesota.
