About Chingoon

https://chequamegonhistory.com/tag/zhingob/

“Chingoon” was Zhingob (Shingoop, Chingoube), the Balsam, who was Naagaanab’s cousin, and considered the hereditary chief of Fond du Lac. He’s the same person as Nindibens in the Edmund Ely journals. The Fond du Lac bands often had seasonal camps at Brule River and Flagg River. Maangozid was Zhingob/Nindibens’ brother-in-law. Zhingob and Naagaanab were both Catholic, dressed like whites, and largely allied with Chief Buffalo’s band and the mix-bloods at La Pointe.
