Unga-Chuk of the Nsswe Neppe is a mythological character from the Sauk and Meskwaki peoples in what is now central Iowa. The Meskwaki (Fox) and Asikiwaki (Sauk/Sac) were related to each other and spoke the same language, but were politically independent. However, the Fox tribe was nearly destroyed in a war with the French and the surviving Fox Indians fled to the Sauk villages for protection. The two tribes merged into a single tribe called the Sac and Fox. Most Sac and Fox people still live together today. The version below was collected by John Tobin in his book With No Intention.
