o— pottawamT V4 annual Hjnstorp The Pottawam is a contraction from the Pottawattamees, the tribe who inhabited this territory, under Chief Tekonquasha from whom Tekonsha received its name. The Pottawattamees and three other tribes occupied what is known as the Northwest Territory. Tekonquasha, a man of peace, was chieftain over a band of several hundred Indians, with a village located where Tekonsha now stands. The legend which contained forebodings of the so-called “pale-faces”, was so impressed upon the tribe by their chieftain that it tinged their lives with a deep melancholy. In spite of the fact that Tecumseh was a great orator he could not persuade the Pottawattomees to join in serving the British in the war of 1812. Just before Tekonquasha died he called the members of the tribe together upon the banks of the St. Joseph and told them how once the Indians were as strong as the oaks and as numerous as the leaves, but now the pale-faces were upon them and they would, as other tribes had done, meet their fate. The Pottawattamees language was very interesting and was the most musical of all tribes. The St. Joseph still ripples over its gravelly bed, the same sun that shone then shines now, but no wigwams can be seen. The members have long passed to their “Happy Hunting Ground”. The white man is now supreme o’er all. G. H.
