    The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C

    The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C. Hale Sipe One cannot travel far in Western Pennsylvania with- out passing the sites of Indian towns, Delaware, Shawnee and Seneca mostly, or being reminded of the Pennsylvania Indians by the beautiful names they gave to the mountains, streams and valleys where they roamed. In a future paper the writer will set forth the meaning of the names which the Indians gave to the mountains, valleys and streams of Western Pennsylvania; but the present paper is con- fined to a brief description of the principal Indian towns in the western part of the state. The writer has arranged these Indian towns in alphabetical order, as follows: Allaquippa's Town* This town, named for the Seneca, Queen Allaquippa, stood at the mouth of Chartier's Creek, where McKees Rocks now stands. In the Pennsylvania, Colonial Records, this stream is sometimes called "Allaquippa's River". The name "Allaquippa" means, as nearly as can be determined, "a hat", being likely a corruption of "alloquepi". This In- dian "Queen", who was visited by such noted characters as Conrad Weiser, Celoron and George Washington, had var- ious residences in the vicinity of the "Forks of the Ohio". In fact, there is good reason for thinking that at one time she lived right at the "Forks". When Washington met her while returning from his mission to the French, she was living where McKeesport now stands, having moved up from the Ohio to get farther away from the French. After Washington's surrender at Fort Necessity, July 4th, 1754, she and the other Indian inhabitants of the Ohio Val- ley friendly to the English, were taken to Aughwick, now Shirleysburg, where they were fed by the Colonial Author- ities of Pennsylvania.

They will understand that each group lived in a different geographical location and their cultures varied with their environments. Time: One class period Lesson Description: Students learn about the four nations of the Ojibwe tribe and analyze maps of the Great Ojibwe Migration. Teacher Background: Refer to The Four Divisions of the Ojibwe Nation Map found in the Lesson Resources section. This map shows the Ojibwe homeland. It is important to remember that much of it was shared with other tribes. The lines only serve to show where fairly large numbers of Ojibwe lived at one time or another. Within this wide expanse there are great differences in country and climate, and the Ojibwe people adapted their ways of living to their surroundings. In modern times four main groups have been distinguished by location and adaptation to varying conditions. They are the Plains Ojibwe, the Northern Ojibwe, the Southeastern Ojibwe, and the Southwestern Ojibwe or Chippewa. The Plains Ojibwe The Plains Ojibwe live in Saskatchewan, western Manitoba, North Dakota, and Montana. Although they were originally a forest people, they changed their way of life when they moved into the open lands and borrowed many customs of other plains people. Today most of them work at farming and ranching.

  • LENAPE VILLAGES of DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook

    LENAPE VILLAGES of DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook

    LENAPE VILLAGES OF DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook After the signing of the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, many bands of Lenape (Delaware) Native Americans found themselves without a place to live. During the previous 200 years, the Lenape had been pushed west from their ancestral homelands in what we now call the Hudson and Delaware river valleys ­ first into the Pennsylvania Colony in the mid­1700s and then into the Ohio Country around the time of the American Revolution. After the Revolution, many Natives living in what the new American government quickly carved out to be the Northwest Territory, were alarmed of the growing encroachment from white settlers. In response, numerous Native groups across the territory formed the pan­tribal Western Confederacy in an attempt to block white settlement and to retain Native territory. The Western Confederacy consisted of warriors from approximately forty different tribes, although in many cases, an entire tribe wasn’t involved, demonstrating the complexity and decentralized nature of Native American political alliances at this time. Several war chiefs led the Western Confederacy’s military efforts including the Miami chief Mihšihkinaahkwa (Little Turtle), the Shawnee chief Weyapiersenwah (Blue Jacket), the Ottawa chief Egushawa, and the Lenape chief Buckongahelas. The Western Confederacy delivered a series of stunning victories over American forces in 1790 and 1791 including the defeat of Colonel Hardin’s forces at the Battle of Heller’s Corner on October 19, 1790; Hartshorn’s Defeat on the following day; and the Battle of Pumpkin Fields on October 21. On November 4 1791, the forces of the territorial governor General Arthur St.
  • “Illinois” Never Did Mean “The Real Men,” As the Explorer/Priest Father Marquette Thought

    “Illinois” Never Did Mean “The Real Men,” As the Explorer/Priest Father Marquette Thought

    No More “Real Men”! Sorry guys, the latest linguistic research reveals that the word “Illinois” never did mean “the real men,” as the explorer/priest Father Marquette thought. A more accurate translation provides the less sexy “He/she speaks in the regular way.” Berkeley Algonquian language specialist Dr. David J. Costa, who has done extensive research on the Indigenous languages of this region, explains that the term ‘Illinois’ probably comes from the old Myaamia-Peewalia (Miami-Peoria) word irenweewa, later pronounced ilenweewa, (plural ilenweewaki). For those who like to know the details, iren means ‘regular/ordinary’, wee means ‘by speech’ and wa means she/he. However, this is only the start of the story. It turns out that the Ojibwa people (who live north of the Great Lakes) pronounce this word slightly differently. Just like American English drops the extra vowel out of British English ‘aluminium’ to get ‘aluminum’–the Ojibwa were in the habit of dropping the wa from words that they borrowed from neighboring languages. They shortened ilenweewa and said “ilinwe” (plural ilinwek sometimes written as ilinoüek). Add French spelling to “ilinwe” and bingo -- you get ‘Illinois’ pronounced “ileenwa.” One more step -- add English pronunciation to the French spelling and you get close to the name of the state as we say it today (“ilinoy”). So, the name of the state comes to us from the Miami-Peoria Indigenous language spoken in this region, via Ojibwa and French. Although “the Illinois” was widely used by the French and English in the 18th and 19th centuries as a collective name for the several distinct groups of Indigenous peoples of the region, it was never what they called themselves.
