Chilili {Chi-U-li^). A former Tigua 

 pueblo on thevr. side of the Arroyo de Chi- 

 lili, about :iO m. s. e. of Albuquerque, N. 

 Mex. It is inadvertently mentioned as a 

 "captain" of a pueblo by Oiiate in 1598, 

 and is next referred to in 1630 as a mis- 

 sion with a church dedicated to Nuestra 

 Senora de Navidad. In this church were 

 interred the remains of Fray Alonzo 

 Peinado, who went to New Mexico about 

 1608, and to whom was attributed the 

 conversion of the inhabitants and the 

 erection of the chapel. The village was 

 abandoned, according to Bandelier, be- 

 tween 1669 and 1676 on account of the 

 persistent hostility of the Apache, the 

 inhabitants retiring mostly to the Tigua 

 villages on the Rio Grande, but some 

 joined the Mansos at El Paso. According 

 to Vetancurt the pueblo contained 500 

 Piros in 1680, and Benavides referred to 

 it as a Tompiros pueblo 50 years earlier; 

 but Bandelier believes these statements to 

 be in error, since the northern pueblos 

 of the Salinas belonged to the Tigua.

Chillicolhe (from CId-la-ka'-tha). One 

 of the four tribal divisions of the Shawnee. 

 The division is still recognized in the tribe, 

 but the meaning of the word is lost. The 

 Chillicothe always occupied a village of 

 the same name, and this village was re- 

 garded as the chief town of the tribe. 

 As the Shawnee retreated w. before the 

 whites, several villages of this name were 

 successively occupied and abandoned. 

 The old Lowertown, or Lower Shawnee 

 Town, at the mouth of the Scioto, in 

 Ohio, was probably called Chillicothe. 

 Besides this, there were three other vil- 

 lages of that name in Ohio, viz: 



(1) On Paint cr., on the site of Old- 

 town, near Chillicothe, in Ross co. This 

 village may have been occupied by the 

 Shawnee after removing from Lower- 

 town. It was there as early as 1774, and 

 was destroyed by the Kentuckians in 

 1787. 



(2) On the Little Miami, about the site 

 of Oldtown, in Greene co. The Shawnee
