Algonquian Languages
The Algonquian languages ( ; also Algonkian) are a family of Indigenous languages of the Americas and most of the languages in the Algic language family are included in the group. 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 (), meaning 'they are our relatives/allies'. 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 groups according to geography: Plains, Central, and Eastern Algonquian. Of t ...

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" (''cf.'' 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] |
Keokuk (Sauk Leader)
Keokuk (circa 1780–June 1848) was a leader of the Sauk people, 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 (chief), 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. Early and family life Keokuk was born around 1780 on the Rock River (Mississippi River tributary), Rock River in what soon became Illinois Territory to a Sauk warrior of the Fox clan and his wife of mixed lineage. He lived in a village near what became Peoria, Illinois on the Illinois River, and although not of the traditional ruling elite, was elected to the tribal council as a young man. H ...

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] |

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 Wecquaesgeek, Wiechquaeskeck in the Greenwich, Connecticut, Greenwich, Stamford, Connecticut, Stamford areas of Connecticut, and the Ramapo Indians, Ramapo inhabiting that of today's Bedford (town), New York, 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 Wappinger#Tankiteke, 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 Ramap ...

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 in finding the boy. A party of ten Pilgrims, including Edward Winslow (who is generally thought to be the author of the events) and two American Indians, the interpreter Tisquantum and "special friend" Tokamahamon, met Mattakeese tribesmen, and were invited to eat with them.''They brought us to their sachem, or governour: whom they called Iyannough, a man not exceeding twenty-six years of age, bu ...

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''. The novel 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 late ...
