The Illiniwek When French explorers first journeyed down from Canada to the upper Mississippi Valley in the early Seventeenth Century, they found the region inhabited by a vigorous, populous Algonquin nation who called themselves "Hileni" or "Illiniwek" which means "men." . This the French rendered as "Illinois". Today most people know little about this once powerful confederation of tribes: the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Tamaroa, Cahokia, and Michigamea. The purpose of this web page is to provide an overview of the Illinois People which will hopefully stimulate the reader to further investigate the history of the Illinois people and their population decline. Peoria warriors with captive near Lake Pimitoui Diorama photograph used with permission of Illinois State Museum The Confederation The five most populous tribes of the Illini Confederation were the Kaskaskia, the Cahokia, the Peoria, the Tamaroa, and the Michigamea. Other smaller affilliated groups were the Taporouas, the Moingwenas, the Chinkoa, the Omouahoa, the Coiraconetanon, and the Chepoussa, While some authors (e.g., Scott) consider the Wea (Ouiatenon) and Piankeshaw to be Illinois affilliates, in fact these two well-known tribes are members of the Miami family. The Miami and Illini did speak a mutually intelligible language, albeit with dialectical differences. Early French commentators believed that the Illini and Miami came from a common ancestral tribe that split in the late prehistoric period

Extractions: Tribes find common ground in sorrow By Martin Kasindorf, USA TODAY TUBA CITY, Ariz. On the desert mesas east of the Grand Canyon, Hopis and Navajos have been quarreling for centuries over land, grazing rights and water. Now, war and loss have eased the tensions, at least for a while. Army Pfc. Lori Piestewa, one of the few American Indian women in the military, was found dead during the rescue of an American POW in Iraq. By Rudy Gutierrez, El Paso Times The Native American tribes united in anxiety when Army Pfc. Lori Piestewa, 23, was reported missing in an ambush in Iraq on March 23. When word came over the weekend that she had been killed in action and her body found, shock stirred Hopi and Navajo alike.

Acolapissa The mild climate of the lower Mississippi required little clothing. Acolapissa men limited themselves pretty much to a breechcloth, women a short skirt, and children ran nude until puberty. With so little clothing with which to adorn themselves, the Acolapissa were fond of decorating their entire bodies with tattoos. In cold weather a buffalo robe or feathered cloak was added for warmth.

Extractions: Back to Main Previous Index Contact us Native Americans An identified group of indigenous Americans to inhabit the Pocono region were the Eastern Woodlands Indians. Archaeological digs date settlements as far back as 13,000 years ago. These prehistoric people were the predecessors of those who called themselves Lenape or Lenni Lenape (original people). The Lenape that the first European explorers and settlers met were of the Algonquin tradition. During this period the Lenapes were under the authority and protection of the very forceful Iroquois, leaders of the League of Six Nations (encompassing the entire region in Pennsylvania and New York), which governed the region. The Delawares were farmers and hunters. They lived in small towns based around longhouses (long huts, 25 feet in length, constructed of bent saplings for support and covered by thick layers of bark). Longhouses were usually shared by several related families who were under a matriarch. The land was considered open for everyone's use, though each band respected one another's tribal hunting grounds and farming land. This concept of land entitlement eventually brought the Indians into conflict with the European settlers who only understood the concept of personal ownership. In 1682 William Penn made an agreement with the Delawares for land that included Philadelphia, Chester and Bucks counties. It was reported that in 1686 another treaty was agreed to, which provided that Penn or his descendants could have as much land, going northward, as a man could walk in one and one-half days. This treaty was never found, though a supposed copy did show up in 1735 when Thomas Penn, son of William, decided he needed more land to sell. Some of the language in this intended treaty conflicted with another Indian concept. The Delawares, who were forced to agree to the "purchase" made by their Iroquois protectors, had a different notion of the meaning of the phrase "walk in one and one-half days" than the European owners seeking land.

Extractions: (Hotinonshonni, Haudenosaunee, Hodenosaunee, Ongwanosionni) This page was devised to bring together information about the Iroquois Nation (Hotinonshonni) . I had difficulty in compiling information because most of this stuff is buried deep in the bowels of the internet. I hope this page will aid in your research. Iroquois Confederacy The Iroquois were the most important native group in North American history. They all had matrilineal social structures, the women owned all property and determined kinship. The individual Iroquois tribes were divided into three clans; turtle, bear and wolf and each headed by the clan mother. After marriage, a man moved into the wife's longhouse, and their children became members of her clan. Iroquois villages had communal longhouses of the different clans. The original homeland of the Iroquois was in upstate New York between the Adirondack Mountains and Niagra Falls. Through conquest and migration, they gained control of most of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Archeological evidence indicates the Iroquois had lived in upstate New York for a long time before the Europeans arrived. Onondaga Nation The Onondaga Nation is the "Keeper of the Fire."

However, in 1832, when they ceded the last of their Illinois lands to the United States, they had been reduced, in the State of Illinois, to a single village of fewer than 300 people. The history of the Illinois Indians during the intervening 159 years is a fascinating, but tragic, story of population decline and cultural erosion. The ultimate cause of the Illinois decline was the colonial expansion of European nations. As France sought to establish a fur-trade empire in Canada, British colonies grew along the Atlantic seaboard and Spain established footholds in Florida and Texas. During the late 1700s, Americans began settling the Ohio River valley and Spain took over the area of Louisiana located west of the Mississippi River. The Illinois got caught in a vise that applied pressure to them from all directions. Warfare and disease caused massive depopulation, while the adoption of European beliefs led to the abandonment of traditional ways of life. The first of December [1680], we arrived in the evening at the [Kaskaskia] village, where we found nothing but the remains from the fire and the rage of the Iroquois. All was in ruins, and there remained only some ends of burned poles which marked what had been the extent of the village, and on the greater part of which there were fixed the heads of dead persons, eaten by crows.

Extractions: Credit: Henry Franzoni I met Gayle Highpine, a Kootenai Indian, at a monthly meeting of the Western Bigfoot Society. She had published the following paper in a very early Track Record, and gave me permission to reprint it here on the conference. Gayle has traveled extensively among the various reservations and enclaves of North American Indians for the last 30 years. She was a member of A.I.M., the American Indian Movement, during the '70s. A female Indian who was always interested in the old ways, she was and is very interested in learning more about Sasquatch, and she has listened attentively to many medicine men's Sasquatch stories as she traveled from reservation to reservation. I think her paper gives a good basic survey of Native American thought on the subject, and I find her obervation of the apparent division between "Flesh and Blood", thinkers and "Spiritual/Mystical" thinkers highly enlightening. P.S. The Kootenai tribe's home basically is southeast British Columbia. Attitudes Toward Bigfoot in Many North American Cultures By Gayle Highpine "But, special being as he is, I have never heard anyone from a Northwestern tribe suggest that Bigfoot is anything other than a physical being, living in the same physical dimensions as humans and other animals. He eats, he sleeps, he poops, he cares for his family members. However, among many Indians elsewhere in North America... as widely separated at the Hopi, the Sioux, the Iroquois, and the Northern Athabascan Bigfoot is seen more as a sort of supernatural or spirit being, whose appearance to humans is always meant to convey some kind of message."
