| Bio notes | Chillicothe, Chalahgawtha, or “Principal Place.” This name signified one of five bands comprising the Algonquian-speaking Shawnee tribe that inhabited the Ohio River Valley, as well as designated the particular village in which the current Chillicothe chief was living in. As a result, there are several different Chillicothes mentioned in historical records. Some examples include Old Chillicothe—famous for its role in Revolutionary War history—on the banks of Little Miami River, and later ones on the Great Miami, St. Mary’s, and Maumee Rivers. Each band in the Shawnee performed a specialized function for the tribe, with the Chillicothe often producing leaders like the famous Chief Blackfish (1729-1779). |
