Senauki was the wife of the influential Muscogee leader Tomochichi. In 1734, Senauki traveled to London, England, as part of a Muscogee delegation. She also participated in negotiations between the Muscogee and early Georgia colonists. She is depicted in the William Verelst painting Audience Given by the Trustees of Georgia to a Delegation of Creek Indians (1734–35).[1]

After Tomochichi's death on October 5, 1739, Senauki and Tomochichi's nephew Toonahowi took charge of the Muscogee tribe.[2]

Senauki probably died in the late 1740s.[3]
