Chief Black Eagle was a Munsee sachem who lived in the Wawayanda area of New York in the early 1800s. He was a signatory to the Treaty of Canandaigua in 1794, which established the boundaries of Indian reservations in New York. In 1807, he was granted a patent for a tract of land in Wawayanda, which became known as the Black Eagle Patent. The patent was later sold to white settlers, and Chief Black Eagle and his people were forced to move to a reservation in Wisconsin.

Chief Black Eagle was a respected leader and warrior. He was known for his bravery and his commitment to protecting his people. He was also a skilled diplomat, and he played a key role in negotiating the Treaty of Canandaigua.

Chief Black Eagle died in 1825. He was buried on the Black Eagle Patent, but his gravesite is now lost.
