er, on both sides of Mississippi ; and as far to the westwarS 

 as the Assinnihoin river. Very little appears to be known 

 of the numbers w hich compose this nation. The tribes in- 

 habiting 1 the coasts and islands of Lake Superior, according 

 to Hutchins, can furnish one thousand warriors. Those re- 

 siding* in the country about Saguinam and Puan bays, and on 

 the borders of Huron and Machigan, together with the tribes 

 of Saukees and Mynomanies, who live near them, are esti- 

 mated at five hundred and fifty warriors. These last men- 

 tioned tribes were hostile to the United States, and signed 

 the treaty at Greenville. 



The Putanotimes consist of two tribes, one of which re- 

 sides on the River Saint Joseph, and the other near Detroit. 

 Their warriors are estimated at about five hundred. These 

 tribes were both hostile to the United States, and were par- 

 ties in the treaty at Greenville. 



The Miamies who signed the Greenville treaty, (it is pre- 

 sumed) include those only who inhabit the village of that 

 iiame near the Miami Fort. Their number of warriors is 

 Unknown. 



The Miamis nation live on the Miami of the lakes, and on 

 lands southward of Lake Michigan. They can furnish about 

 three hundred warriors. 



The Eel-river Indians reside on a river of that name, 

 which is a head branch of the Wabash. Their number of 

 ■warriors cannot be ascertained. 



Kathtippacamur.ch was an Indian village, situated on the 

 north side of the Wabash river, at the mouth of Tippacanoe 

 creek, about twenty miles above the lower W r eeatowns. In 

 3791, before it was destroyed by Generals Scott and Wilkin- 

 son, it is said to have " contained one hundred and twenty 

 houses, eighty of which were shingle roofed. The best 

 houses belonged to the French traders. The gardens and 

 improvements round were delightful. There was a tavern 

 with cellars, bar, public and private rooms ; and the whole 

 marked no small degree of order and civilization.'" 



Not far distant from the mouth of Tippacanoe creek, is 

 the town of the much famed Indian Prophet, who is said to- 

 be a Shawanoes.
