Voyager and former member of the Maquis resistance group. Chakotay was of Native American descent and fiercely proud of his ancestry. As a child, however, Chakotay rebelled against his heritage. At the age of 15, Chakotay traveled with his father, Kolopak, to Earth in search of the ancient Rubber Tree People (a Native American tribe). During the expedition, Chakotay informed his father that he was leaving his people to attend Starfleet Academy. Kolopak accepted his son's rebellion, noting that Chakotay had been a breech birth, indicating a problem child. Chakotay's application to the academy had been sponsored by Captain Sulu. After his father's death, Chakotay came to recognize the importance of his people's heritage, and he tattooed his forehead in honor of his father and their ancestors. One of his ancestors was a school teacher in Arizona on Earth in the 20th century. </div> <div> During Chakotay's first year at Starfleet Academy, he trained as a pilot over Earth's North American continent and spent a couple of months on Venus learning how to handle atmospheric storms. He later learned to dodge asteroids in that system's asteroid belt. Chakotay had an interest in archaeology. After Chakotay graduated from the academy, he was a member of the Starfleet team that made first contact with the Tarkannans. He later left Starfleet to join the Maquis in defense of his homeworld against the Cardassians. He commanded a Maquis ship that was lost in the Badlands in 2371 while fleeing from a Cardassian ship. Chakotay and his crew were swept into the distant Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, where they were trapped when their ship was destroyed by the Kazon-Ogla. Chakotay and his fellow Maquis subsequently accepted an invitation to join the crew of the Starship Voyager under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway. Under this arrangement, Chakotay became the ship's first officer, replacing Lieutenant Commander Cavit who was killed in the passage. The difficult conditions in the Delta Quadrant led Chakotay to question whether Starfleet's idealism was appropriate in this distant part of the galaxy, wondering if the expediency of Maquis techniques might be wiser. </div> <div> Chakotay practiced his people's vision quest rituals, seeking direction from his animal guide (a snake - which is ironic as he is actually afraid of snakes!). He used his medicine bundle to help invoke these rituals. Chakotay would occasionally help those close to him experience the vision quest in search of their own animal guides. Chakotay honored his people's traditional medical practices, including the use of a medicine wheel to help guide his spirit back to his body when it was displaced by trianic energy beings on stardate 48734. </div> <div> While in the Maquis, Chakotay was romantically involved with Seska, unaware that she was a Cardassian agent who had been surgically altered to appear Bajoran. Seska, who later defected to the Kazon, subsequently deceived Chakotay, telling him that she had impregnated herself with a sample of his DNA. </div> <div> Chakotay became afflicted with a potentially fatal viral disease in 2372 after exposure to an insectoid life-form on a planet in the Delta Quadrant. Extensive research determined that the condition could remain benign as long as he remained on the planet, but that he could not survive if he left. Captain Kathryn Janeway was also stricken with the disease. Determined that her people should not sacrifice their chance to return home, Janeway ordered her ship to continue their voyage, leaving Chakotay and Janeway behind. On the planet, Chakotay's wilderness skills that he learned as a boy from Kolopak, his father, proved invaluable. After several weeks, Voyager's crew, with the aid of Vidiian physician Danara Pel, was able to obtain an antiviral medication, and return to successfully treat Chakotay and Janeway. Chakotay and Janeway grew closer during their time alone together on the planet. </div> <div> In 2373, Chakotay was temporarily assimilated into a Borg collective while on a mission of exploration into the Nekrit Expanse. His brief exposure to the Borg group consciousness helped heal him from a serious injury. Chakotay later assisted a group of former Borg drones to reestablish a group consciousness, which they felt necessary to live a life of harmony. </div> <div> In 2373, following the discovery that Voyager was under observation by a race known as the Voth, Chakotay was taken prisoner by a Voth scientist Professor Gegen. It was later learned that the Voth scientists had found the bones of Ensign Hogan on Hanon IV and discovered that the Voth shared 47 genetic markers with humans, making very probable that the two were distantly related genetically. Chakotay was taken by Gegen to provide proof of a 'Distant Origin theory' that Gegen had been working on for many years. Gegen later released Chakotay following the capture of Voyager by the Voth. Following a 'trial' in which Gegen was forced to renounce his theory the Voyager and crew were released with a warning not to enter Voth space. </div> <div> A Native American descendant, this onetime Starfleet lieutenant commander resigned from his position as an instructor in Starfleet's Advanced Tactical Training in 2370 to join the Maquis, sparked by his father's death fighting Cardassians on the tribe's homeworld along the Demilitarized Zone. Chakotay is a gentle man but resolute, and is one of the Maquis who are truly in the fight for principle, not mercenary gain or violent outlet - as was one of his students, Lt. Ro Laren. </div> <div> Chakotay looks to his spiritual Mayan background for inner comfort and doesn't mind sharing that belief with others, when asked, or even enduring some good-natured ribbing about it from Torres and Paris, among others. He uses a spirit guide summoned by his medicine bundle, prays to speak with his father for guidance, and uses a Mayan-descended medicine wheel for self-healing. With another suffering from ongoing neck muscle spasms, he is also reportedly an excellent masseuse. </div> <div> However, he didn't always have such reverence for his ancestors' ways. His father Kolopak was insistent upon finding their peoples' ancestral home and did so in the Central American jungle in 2350, when Chakotay was 15. But the young man had already been casting his lot with Starfleet crews patrolling the border, and stunned his father on that trip with the news he'd be leaving the tribe to attend Starfleet Academy after his newfound acquaintance Captain Sulu agreed to sponsor him at Starfleet Academy, even at his young age. Despite that resistance, Chakotay did learn many survival skills from his father, such as building log cabins and fire-starting. </div> <div> Chakotay's piloting skills trace back to extensive and early Starfleet Academy training. From a freshman course over adjacent North America, he went to Venus to master atmospheric storms and had yet another semester dealing with asteroids in the Sol asteroid belt. </div> <div> The virtual estrangement between father and son lasted until 2371 when Kolopak died defending his home in the early days of Cardassian harassment, even as the final border treaty was being signed. Chakotay took to wearing his tattoo, a symbol of those jungle descendants, to honor his father, who wore it also; even his own name is a cherished gift from his tribe. Later Chakotay reported considering archeology as a second occupation, either in the field or in academics. </div> <div> Chakotay's people, tracing their lineage back past Mayans to the Rubber Tree People of Central America, resisted the intrusion of more technological societies until the development of warp drive in the 21st century allowed them to leave Earth and find their own home for good. One 20th century forebear he knows of was a schoolteacher in Arizona.</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
