He is best known for his successful capture of New France in 1629 during the Thirty Years' War and his subsequent governorship of lands in Newfoundland.

Originally "sakmow" of the Kespukwitk district, he was appointed as Grand Chief by the "sakmowk" of the other six districts.His exact date of birth is not known.
