In 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.

He was a fur trader so you have to assume he was kind of a douche...
I also like to call Bongas "Bungas".
