As a boy, Chakotay resented his Native American tribe's and father Kolopak's backwater traditions and spirituality and dreamed of entering Starfleet Academy, which he finally managed at 15, under the guide of Captain Sulu. When his home planet, a Native-American colony, was taken over by the Cardassians, he left Starfleet and joined the Maquis.

The Voyager episode "Endgame" gave Chakotay's birth as 2326 and death as 2394. However, since these occurred in an alternate timeline, the date of death will probably change.
