I can only find one source for Winnebago that has their term for the US
president:

Hitc—ke H’rera,	Our Great Father, the President [Gatschet].  This actually means
"Our Grandfather."

Foster, who collected his material in 1853, has the following of interest:

huNk hiaNtc hirera, 	the chief our father, a title for an Indian agent.
