The Potawatomis: Keepers of the Fire (Civilization of the American Indian Series)

Description

Preface
As a boy, growing up in central Illinois, I often wondered about the Indian people who once had pitched their lodges amidst the prairies bordering the Illinois River valley. Although the library in my small home town held many books about the five southern tribes or the plains Indians, it contained few volumes on the tribesmen of the Old Northwest. I knew that the Illinois Valley had been held by many tribes, each being forced south and west by successive waves of northern invaders. When the French entered the Illinois country, the region was occupied by the Illinois Confederacy, but they were a declining people, and by the middle of the eighteenth century the remnants of the Peorias, Kaskaskias, and other Illinois tribesmen had fled to the American Bottom, opposite St. Louis. In central Illinois the confederacy was replaced by northern Indians anxious to claim the prairies as their own. First came the Kickapoos, fierce warriors whom the French encouraged to settle in the Vermilion and Wabash valleys. The Kickapoos expanded into the Sangamon River country, but they, too, were pressed by more recent arrivals from the north. During the last half of the eighteenth century, Potawatomi hunters descended the Kankakee and Fox valleys, establishing villages and eventually claiming control over most of northern Illinois. The Potawatomis remained in the region until the 1830's, when white pressure forced them across the Mississippi.
