Michilimackinac ( J/?.s /( 1 n 7 ?h u' kl n u n g, 

 'place of the big wounded person,' or 

 'place of the big lame person.' — W. 

 J). A name applied at various times to 

 Mackinac id. in Mackinac co., Mich.; 

 to the village on this island; to the village 

 and fort at Pt St Ignace on the opposite 

 mainland, and at an early period to a con- 

 siderable extent of territory in the upper 

 part of the lower peninsula of Michigan. 

 It is derived from the name of a supposed 

 extinct Algonquian tribe, the Mishini- 

 maki or Mishinimakinagog. 



According to Indian tradition and the 

 Jesuit Relations, the Mishinimaki for- 

 merly had their headcjuarters at [Mackinac 

 id. and occupied all the adjacent territory 

 in Michigan. They are said to have been 

 at one time numerous and to have had 30 

 villages, but in retaliation for an invasion 

 of the Mohawk country they were de- 

 stroyed by the Iroquois. This must have 

 occurred previous to the occupancy of the 

 country by the Chippewa on their first 

 appearance in this region. A few were 

 still there in 1671, but in Charlevoix's 

 time (1744) none of them remained. 

 When the Chippewa appeared in this 

 section they made Michilimackinac id. 

 one of their chief centers, and it retained 

 its importance for a long period. In 1761 

 their village was said to contain 100 war- 

 riors. In 1827 the Catholic part of the 

 inhabitants, to the number of 150, sepa- 

 rated from the others and formed a new 

 village near the old one. When the 

 Hurons were driven w. by the Iroquois 

 they settled on Mackinac id., where they 

 built a village some time after 1650. Soon 

 thereafter they removed to the Noquet 

 ids. in Green bay, but returned about 

 1670 and settled in a new village on the 

 adjacent mainland, where the Jesuits had 

 just established the mission of St Ignace. 

 After this the Hurons settled near the 

 mission; the fugitive Ottawa also settled 

 in a village on the island where Nouvel 

 established the mission of St Francis Bor- 

 gia among them in 1677, and when the 

 Hurons removed to Detroit; about 1702, 

 the Ottawa and Chippewa continued to 

 live at Michilimackinac. (j. m. c. t. )
