Algonquian Languages
The Algonquian languages ( or ; also Algonkian) are a subfamily of indigenous American languages that include most languages in the Algic language family. The name of the Algonquian language family is distinguished from the orthographically similar Algonquin dialect of the Indigenous Ojibwe language (Chippewa), which is a senior member of the Algonquian language family. The term ''Algonquin'' has been suggested to derive from the Maliseet word (), "they are our relatives/allies". A number of Algonquian languages are considered extinct languages by the modern linguistic definition. Speakers of Algonquian languages stretch from the east coast of North America to the Rocky Mountains. The proto-language from which all of the languages of the family descend, Proto-Algonquian, was spoken around 2,500 to 3,000 years ago. There is no scholarly consensus about where this language was spoken. Family division This subfamily of around 30 languages is divided into three group ...

Egushawa
Egushawa (c. 1726 – March 1796), also spelled Egouch-e-ouay, Agushaway, Agashawa, Gushgushagwa, Negushwa, and many other variants, was a war chief and principal political chief of the Ottawa tribe of North American Indians. His name is loosely translated as "The Gatherer" or "Brings Together" (''c.f.'' Ojibwe ''agwazhe'waa'', "to quilt something(s); to blanket someone(s)"). He was a prominent leader among the Detroit Ottawa, a prominent group in southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio. Egushawa is considered a successor to Chief Pontiac. As a leader in two wars against the United States, Egushawa was one of the most influential Native Americans of the Great Lakes region in the late eighteenth century. Background Egushawa first appears in historical records in 1774, when he signed an indenture granting an island in the Detroit River to Alexis Masonville in 1774, not far from the British Army outpost of Fort Detroit. Nothing is known for certain about his life before that time. H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ma-Ko-Ko-Mo
Kokomo, whose name is also sometimes given as Koh-Koh-Mah, Co-come-wah, Ma-Ko-Ko-Mo, or Kokomoko, was a Native American man of the Miami tribe who lived in northern Indiana at some point probably in the early nineteenth century. The city of Kokomo, Indiana is named after him. David Foster, the founder of the city of Kokomo, is widely quoted as having said, "It was the orneriest town on earth, so I named it after the orneriest Indian on earth—called it Kokomo," but this anecdote may be apocryphal and it is unclear whether Foster was the one who proposed the name for the city at all. The etymology of Kokomo's name is unknown and none of the numerous explanation that have been put forward are viable. According to one sets of legends, Kokomo was the "lasting of the fighting chiefs" of Miami, a seven-foot-tall man of immense physical strength and great cunning under whose leadership his tribe flourished. Another set of legends, however, portrays him as not a chief at all, but an ord ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lawoughqua
LawoughquaAlso spelled Lawaughqua, Lawaghqua, Lawahqua, Lawagqua, Lawagkwa, or Lawakkwa. ( fl. 1765) was a Shawnee civil chief who served as speaker for the Shawnees at a council at Fort Pitt in 1765. The council was called by British Indian agent George Croghan, who was sent by his superior, Sir William Johnson, to negotiate with natives of the Ohio country as Pontiac's Rebellion was ending. The previous year, during the Bouquet expedition, the Shawnees had agreed to end hostilities and return prisoners to the British. Croghan's goal at the Fort Pitt council was to see that the Shawnees had complied with these terms before reopening trade with the Ohio Indians. Lawoughqua gave a speech before handing over the captives. Significantly, he agreed to address the British as "father" instead of "brother". Previously, the Shawnees had addressed the French king as "father" in diplomatic speeches; the transfer of this fictive kinship term of address to the British signified that the B ...

Kineubenae
{{tone, date=April 2015 Chief Kineubenae (also recorded as Golden Eagle, Quinipeno, Quenebenaw, etc.) ( fl. 1797–1812), was a principal chief of the Mississauga Ojibwa, located on the north shore of Lake Ontario. His name ''Giniw-bine'' in the Anishinaabe language means "golden eagle like partridge. He was a member of the ''Nigig-doodem'' (Otter Clan). Biography Born in the mid-18th century, Kineubenae grew up in the last decades of Ojibwa domination of present-day southern Ontario, before the American Revolution. Two generations earlier, his ancestors had swept southward from the Mississagi River of the Georgian Bay and by 1700 had expelled the Iroquois. For the next 75 years, Mississaugas alone would occupy the north shore of Lake Ontario. Due to the American Revolution, thousands of white and Iroquois refugees arrived in southern Ontario. Suddenly the Mississaugas were obliged to cede their territory at the western end of the lake in order to provide land for the newcomer ...

Keokuk (Sauk Leader)
Keokuk (circa 1780–June 1848) was a leader of the Sauk tribe in central North America, and for decades was one of the most recognized Native American leaders and noted for his accommodation with the U.S. government. Keokuk moved his tribe several times and always acted as an ardent friend of the Americans. Appleton's Cyclopedia (1892) vol. III p. 523 His policies were contrary to fellow Sauk leader Black Hawk, who led part of their band to defeat in the Black Hawk War, was later returned by U.S. forces to Keokuk's custody, and who died a decade before Keokuk.

Kennekuk
Keannekeuk (c. 1790–1852), also known as the "Kickapoo Prophet", was a Kickapoo medicine man and spiritual leader of the Vermilion band of the Kickapoo nation. He lived in East Central Illinois much of his life along the Vermilion River. One source translates his name as "the drunkard's son." As a young man, he killed his uncle in a fit of drunken rage, and was ostracized by his tribe. He wandered between frontier settlements in Indiana and Illinois begging for food until a Catholic priest took him in to teach him Christianity. Kennekuk decided to renounce alcohol and began preaching to persuade others to do the same. His people welcomed him back, and by 1816 Kennekuk, then in his mid-twenties, had become a leading chief of the Vermilion band. Within a short time, alcohol use among his followers had declined significantly and his community became more cohesive and productive. Life From 1833 until his death in 1852, he led a community of followers, whose beliefs centered on no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kechewaishke
Chief Buffalo (Ojibwe: Ke-che-waish-ke/''Gichi-weshkiinh'' – "Great-renewer" or Peezhickee/''Bizhiki'' – "Buffalo"; also French, Le Boeuf) (1759? – September 7, 1855) was a major Ojibwa leader, born at La Pointe in Lake Superior's Apostle Islands, in what is now northern Wisconsin, USA. Recognized as the principal chief of the Lake Superior Chippewa (Ojibwa) for nearly a half-century until his death in 1855, he led his nation into a treaty relationship with the United States Government. He signed treaties in 1825, 1826, 1837, 1842, 1847, and 1854.

Katonah (Native American Leader)
Katonah was a Lenape sachem who led parts of two bands of Wappinger in what is today the far southeastern part of mainland New York State and southwestern Connecticut: the Wiechquaeskeck in the Greenwich, Stamford areas of Connecticut, and the Ramapo inhabiting that of today’s Bedford, New York. Some believe the Ramapo Sachemdom - which later relocated across the Hudson River in both New York and New Jersey (for whom today’s town of Ramapo, New York, and the Ramapo Mountains of New Jersey are named) - was part of the Tankiteke chieftaincy of the Wappinger (itself effectively a league or confederation of a dozen or so bands, sovereign to itself but linguistically at least a Lenape people). The land of today’s town of Bedford was purchased from Chief Katonah. Biography Katonah was the sachem of the condensed remnants of a Wappinger people called the Ramapo (whose descendants today, largely in New Jersey, are known as the Ramapough Mountain Indians. He lived in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Iyannough
Iyannough (also Iyanough) was an American Indian sachem and leader of the Mattachiest ( Mattakeese, a sub-group of the Wampanoag people) tribe of Cummaquid in the area of what is now Barnstable, Massachusetts. The village of Hyannis, the Wianno section of Osterville, and Iyanough Road ( Route 132) are all named after him. Life Historic records mention the assistance and entertainment offered by him and his tribe towards the Pilgrims and later colonists. When the son of Mayflower passenger John Billington wandered away from the new settlement at Plymouth in January 1621, Iyannough assisted William Bradford and his party in finding the boy. The sachem impressed the Pilgrims as being personable, gentle, courteous, and fair-conditioned. He died in 1623 when he was only in his mid-twenties. Following a surprise attack by the Pilgrims on the Massachusett tribe that winter, many Indians in the region including Iyannough grew fearful of the colonists and fled to hide in the area's swa ...

Hobomok
''Hobomok, A Tale of Early Times.'' is a novel by the nineteenth-century American author and human rights campaigner Lydia Maria Child. Her first novel, published in 1824 under the pseudonym "An American," was inspired by John G. Palfrey's article in the ''North American Review''. It is set during the late 1620s and 1630s. Among other themes, it relates the marriage of a recently immigrated white American woman, Mary Conant, to the eponymous Native American and her attempt to raise their son in white society.Bruce Mills, "Introduction," in Letters from New-York', ed. Athens, University of Georgia Press, 1998, p. xi. The subject of miscegenation being taboo, the book initially fared poorly. An early review in the ''North American Review'' called the story "unnatural" and "revolting to every feeling of delicacy". However, before too long (and partly due to Child's intervention in Boston literary circles), many prominent Bostonians celebrated the novel. Child was later active a ...
