    Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville

    CHIEF JEAN BAPTISTE RICHARDVILLE By Craig Leonard «««««««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville was the civil chief of the Miami Indians from 1816 until his death in 1841. He was born at the Miami village of Kekionga (Fort Wayne) about 1761 and was known by his Miami name, Peshewa ("the lynx," "the wildcat"), and later by the Anglicized version of his name, John B. Richardville. Richardville's father was Joseph Druet de Richardville, a French-Canadian trader of noble ancestry whose family members, the Drouets, were among the most prominent nobility, officers, and traders in New France. Tacumwah (Maria Louisa Richardville), Richardville's mother, was the sister of Pacanne, the chief of the village at Kekionga. Joseph apparently remained at Kekionga from about 1750 to 1770; he then returned to Three Rivers, Canada, where his son later joined him for a few years to receive a formal education. Drouet and Tacumwah are known to have had three other children, but little is known of them or where they spent their lives. Tacumwah, who had the status of a female chieftain among the Miami, later married another French trader, Charles Beaubien. Several factors destined Richardville for prominence. The Miami tribe had at least five major divisions, of which the foremost were the Atchatchakangouen, or Crane People. The head chief of this group was deferred to by the heads of the other divisions as the entire tribe's civil chief. The Atchatchakangouen head chief was Pacanne, the leader at Kekionga. Among the Miami, war chiefs were chosen for their prowess in battle, but succession to civil chieftain was hereditary.

    The Distribution of the Smoky Shrew, Sorex fumeus, and the Pygmy Shrew, Microsorex hoyi, in Indiana with Notes on the Distribution of Other Shrews Wynn W. Cudmore and John O. Whitaker, Jr. Department of Life Sciences, Indiana State University Terre Haute, Indiana 47809 Introduction The presence of the Smoky Shrew, Sorex fumeus, and the Pygmy Shrew, Micro- sorex hoyi, in Indiana was first documented by Caldwell, Smith and Whitaker (1982). The presence in Indiana of these species was suspected based on the continuous nature of the physiographic ecological region from northern Kentucky to southern Indiana. Microsorex occurs from Alaska through Canada and into the United States as far south as Colorado and Georgia (Diersing 1980). Sorex fumeus occurs from southeastern Canada through the northeastern United States to the mountains of Georgia and west across two-thirds of Kentucky (Hall 1981, Caldwell and Bryan 1982). The ranges of the two species overlap extensively in the eastern United States. The present study was undertaken to establish the distribution of S. fumeus and M. hoyi in Indiana and to gain additional information on the distribution of associated shrew species. Methods and Materials A total of 35 localities in 21 southern Indiana counties was trapped to indicate the presence or absence of S. fumeus and M. hoyi. Pitfall traps (1000 ml plastic disposable beakers with approximately one inch of water) were sunk along natural obstructions (i.e., logs, rock faces, etc.) in suitable habitat. An average of 19 cans (range 6-40) was used per site, left in place an average of 31 days (range 16-49) and checked periodically.
