PASHIR PASPAHEGH 



iB. A. H. 



Moines r. in May 1823, in which engage- 

 ment Black Hawk was second in com- 

 mand. He was also the leader in the plot 

 to destroy Ft Madison, Iowa, in 1809, 

 an effort that failed because the whites 

 were forewarned. He is said to have 

 been vindictive and implacable in his re- 

 sentments, on one occasion undertaking 

 a long journey for the purpose of killing 

 the Indian agent at Prairie du Chien, 

 Wis., because the latter had offended 

 him; but his attempt was thwarted by 

 Taimah. Pashipaho supported Keokuk 

 in opposing Black Hawk's war against 

 the whites, and took no part in it. In 

 addition to signing the St Louis treaty of 

 1804, he was a leading participant in ne- 

 gotiating subsequent treaties with the 

 United States at Ft Armstrong, Rock 

 Island, 111., Sept. 3, 1822; Washington, 

 D. C, Aug. 4, 1824, and Ft Armstrong, 

 Sept. 21, 1832. Pashipaho was again 

 at Ft Armstrong in Aug. 1833, on the 

 occasion of the liberation of Black Hawk 

 and his companions, when in a speech he 

 advocated the peace policy of Keokuk, 

 remarking that at one time he had taken 

 prisoner the "great chief of the Osages," 

 but had voluntarily released him. While 

 in Washington, Pashipaho's portrait was 

 painted by Charles B. King for the Indian 

 gallery of the AVar Department, and is re- 

 produced in McKenney and Hall's Indian 

 Tribes; ten years later his portrait was 

 again painted by George Catlin. Men- 

 tion is made of Pashipaho's presence with 

 other Sauk and Fox chiefs in camp on 

 Des Moines r. in 1841, when news of a 

 massacre of some of their people by the 

 Sioux was received. Although Keokuk 

 w^as present, and Pashipaho was then so 

 old that he had to be aided in mounting 

 his horse, the latter led the pursuit of the 

 marauders. It is probable that his death 

 occurred not long thereafter, though but 

 little is known of his last years other than 

 that he was much given to intemperate 

 habits. He moved with his people to 

 their reservation in Kansas. Other re- 

 corded forms of the name are Pahsha- 

 paha, Pasheparho, Pashepawko, Pashe- 

 piho, and Pushee Paho. (c. t. )

Pasnacanes. A tribe or subtribe living 

 in the 18th century with the Pamaques, 

 near the Texas coast between the Nueces 

 and San Antonio rs. They were prob- 

 ably Coahuiltecan, since they were very 

 closely related to the Pamaques, of which 

 tribe they seem sometimes to have been 

 regarded as a subdivision ( Ynforme of 

 the College of Quer^taro to the Commis- 

 sary General, 1754, MS.). In the early 

 history of San Jose mission, Tacasnanes, 

 perhaps the same, were taken there, to- 

 gether with Pampopas, Pastias, and 

 Chayopines, but they soon deserted (Al- 

 tamira, opinion of Feb. 27, 1750, Mem. 

 Hist. Tex., Archivo Gen., xxviii, 140, 

 MS.). In 1743 the Pasnacanes were be- 

 ing ' ' reduced ' ' at the Queretaran missions 

 near San Antonio, where their kinsmen, 

 the Pamaques, had already been gathered 

 (Fr. Santa Ana to the Viceroy, Mar. 4, 

 1743, MS.). (h. E. B.)

 confederacy that lived between Chick- 

 ahominy and James rs., Va., and num- 

 bered 200 in 1608. It was with the

 tact.
