| Bio notes | An Algonquian-speaking subtribe of the Miami, the Piankeshaw were historically located in western Illinois, Indiana, and parts of Ohio, particularly along the banks of the Vermilion, White, and Wabash Rivers. After ceding their Illinois and Indiana lands in 1805, they began to spread south and west from the St. Louis area in Missouri, and relocated again in 1832 to a Wea reservation in Kansas. In 1854 they joined with the closely-related Kaskaskia, Wea, and Peoria tribes to form the Confederated Peoria, with whom they gained a northeastern Oklahoma reservation in 1867. |
