Cahokia is the modern name of a native American city - it is not the name of a tribe.

The people who built Cahokia existed before any of the tribes we know today were formed; they belonged to the Mississippian culture which seems to have flourished between about 800 and 1500 AD across the Midwest, East and Southeast of the modern USA. We know very little about them since they mostly disappeared before the arrival of Europeans, so there was nobody to write about them - all we have is the archaeological remains they left behind. This includes mound sites, pottery, stone artefacts and wonderful objects of shell and mica.

We do not know any of the names (or even the languages) of these Palaeo-Indians, so it is not possible to provide the name of any one of their many chiefs.
