Lisa Larene Dakota was born on October 14, 1984, the daughter of Ernest Hunt and Lori Dakota, in Minneapolis, MN. From her youth into adulthood, Lisa was able to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors by spending it in Northern Minnesota. Twelve years ago, Lisa met Bruce Auginash and together they have made a family. Spending time with family was important and, as a devoted mother, she loved being able to help raise six sons and one precious daughter. Lisa adored being in the Minnesota forests, especially hunting, fishing, and cutting boughs with Bruce. Together they liked to travel and often took trips to the Twin Cities to visit family. She had a wonderful outgoing spirit and enjoyed listening to music and hanging out with family and friends. Lisa was always willing to help anyone in need and gave her all to those she loved.

Lisa was very proud of her Native American ancestry and liked going on the pow wow trail. She was honored with the name Makadaa Miigwun Ekwe meaning Black Eagle Feather Woman.
