Here is some information on Commander Chatoay:

He was the Captain of the Maquis ship stranded together with Voyager in the Delta Quadrant. He is from the Native American tribe that settled on a planet near the Cardassian border (TNG:"Journey's End") and he still follows many of their traditions. When Janeway's original commander was killed during the transport to Delta quadrant he was replaced by Chakotay.

He completed Starfleet Academy and advanced to the rank of Lieutenant Commander on the U.S.S. Merrimac but left Starfleet when the Federation couldn't protect his tribe from the cardassian.
