KANAKUK, THE KICKAPOO PROPHET. (after Catlin) 



covering nearly half the state of Illinois, 

 they could not go to the reservation as- 

 signed to them in Missouri because it 



was still occupied by the hostile Osage. 

 Half the tribe emigrated instead to Span- 

 ish territory in Texas, and the rest were 

 ready to follow when the Government 

 agents intervened, endeavoring to induce 

 them to remove to Missouri. Kanakuk, 

 inspired with the ideas that had moved 

 Tenskwatawa, exhorted them to remain 

 where they were, promising that if they 

 lived worthily, abandoning their native 

 superstitions, avoiding quarrels among 

 themselves and infractions of the white 

 man's law, and resisting the seduction of 

 alcohol, they would at last inherit a land 

 of plenty clear of enemies. He was 

 accepted as the chief of the remnant who 

 remained in Illinois, and many of the 

 Potawatomi of Michigan became his dis- 

 ciples. He displayed a chart of the path, 

 leading through fire and water, which 

 the virtuous must pursue to reach the 

 "happy hunting grounds," and furnished 

 his followers with prayer-sticks graven 

 with religious symbols. When in the 

 end the Kickapoo were removed to Kan- 

 sas he accompanied them and remained 

 their chief, still keeping drink away from 

 them, until lie died of smallpox in 1852.

Kanani ( Ka 'nctni, ' living arrows ' ) . A 

 Navaho clan. — Matthews in Jour. Am.

Kanapima ('one who is talked of). 

 An Ottawa chief, born about 40 m. s. of 

 Mackinaw, INIich., July 12, 1813, and 

 christenedasAugustiuHammelin, jr. He 

 was sent with his voimger brother, Ma- 

 coda Binnasee( The Blackbird), in 1829 to 

 be educated in the Catholic seminary at 

 Cincinnati, where the two boys reinained 

 for 3 years without making marked prog- 

 ress in their studies. In 1832 both were 

 sent to Rome to continue their educa- 

 tion in the college of the Propaganda 

 Fide, with the view of entering the 

 priesthood. This object in Kanapima's 

 case was defeated from the usual causes. 

 After his brother died at the end of two 

 years he ceased his studies, returned to 

 America, became chief of his branch of 

 the tribe, and resumed the costume and 

 habits of his people, except when he went 

 among white people, as in 1835, to make a 

 treaty for the Ottawa with the Govern- 

 ment at Washington, but he does not 

 appear to have been a signer of any Ottawa 

 treaty. On such occasions he exhibited 

 the ease and polish of a man of the 

 world.
