Chakotay was a former Maquis, and then joined Voyagers crew after being sent to the Delta Quadrant by an unknown entity that called itself the Caretaker.
Born in 2329, he was raised by Kolopak, his father, near the Cardassean Demilitarized Zone. Being of Mayan descent, he was a very spiritual; Chakotay’s tribe left Earth, because of the intrusion of technology on societies. Chakotay went on a quest through the Amazon Rainforest with his father looking for the descendants of the ancient rubber tree people.
At first resistant to learn of his father’s connection to these ancestral lands, leaving his father very disappointed, his father was also shocked to learn that his son wanted to join Starfleet as well. Chakotay and his father were not on very good terms when his father died, mainly because of this decision. This is why he resigned from Starfleet, to preserve his homeland from the invading Cardassians. Then, and for that reason, he took the tattoo, for the memory of his father.
