Chicago. — -A Miami village on the site of 

 Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, at the 

 period of the earliest explorations in 

 that region, 1670-1700. A French 

 docitment of 1695 makes it a Wea 

 village at that time (N. Y. Doc. Col. 

 Hist., IX, 619, 1855). It was also the 

 name of a chief of the Illinois about 

 1725. The word is commonly trans- 

 lated as "wild onion place" or "skunk 

 place," from shikakua, wild onion; or 

 shekaug, skunk, in the neighboring 

 Algonrptian dialects. The name re- 

 fers probably to the foul smell about 

 the Chicago river. (See Hoffman in 

 14th Rep. Bur. Eth., p. 238.) (j.M.)

Chillicothe,— One of the four territorial 

 divisions of the Shawnee, and perhaps 

 originally a phratry. The division is 

 still recognized in the tribe, but the 

 meaning of the word is lost. The di- 

 vision 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 westward 

 before the whites, several villages of 

 this name were sticcessively occupied 

 and abandoned. The old Lowertown, 

 or "Lower Shawnee Town," at the 

 mouth of tlie Scioto, in Ohio, was 

 probably called Chillicothe. Besides 

 this there were three other villages of 

 that name in Ohio, viz.: 



(i) On Paint creek, on the site of 

 Oldtown, near ChiUicothe in Ross 

 county. This village may have been 

 occupied by the Shawnee after re- 

 moving from Lowertown. It was 

 there as early as 1774, and was de- 

 stroyed b}' the Kentuckians in 1787. 



(2) On the Little Miami, about the 

 site of Oldtown in Greene county. 

 The Shawnee are said to have re- 

 moved from Lowertown to this vil- 

 lage, but it seems more probable that 

 they went to the village on Paint 

 creek. This village near Oldtown was 

 frequently called Old Chillicothe, and 

 Boone was a prisoner here in 1778. 

 It was destroyed by Clark in 1780. 



(3) On the (Great) Miami, at the 

 present Piqua in Miami county. De- 

 stroyed by Clark in 1 78 2. (j.M.)

An important tribe of the Musk- 

 hogean stock, formerly occupying the 

 iniddle and southern portions of what 

 is now the state of Mississippi, their

 was at that time in Choctaw territory.
