Afterwards they made treaties with the United States for the cession of their lands, when a large tract was assigned them in Missouri, and the whole tribe, numbering about 4,000, settled there in 1838. A portion of them are Roman Catholics, and the remainder are pagans. They are divided into the St. Joseph, Wabash, and Huron bands, who are Roman Catholics, and the Prairie band, who are pagans. Missions among the latter have failed, and they have scattered, some of them having gone to Mexico. The experiment of giving a certain amount of land to each individual was undertaken with 1,400 of them in 1867, and was partially successful. In 1899 there were seventy-seven Huron Pottawattomies at the Mackinac agency in Michigan; 560 Prairie band Pottawattomies at the Pottawattomie and Great Nemaha agency in Kansas; and
Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States) (search for this): entry pottawattomie-indians
Pottawattomie Indians, An Algonquian family which occupied the lower peninsula of Michigan, and spoke one of the rudest dialects of that nation. At the beginning of the seventeenth century they were in scattered and apparently independent bands, without the faintest sign of any civil government. Hunters and fishers, and cultivators of a little maize, they were wanderers, and were frequently engaged in wars with neighboring tribes. The Iroquois finally drove them to the shores of Green Bay, where the French Jesuits established a mission among them. They became allies of the French in the wars with the Iroquois and the English, and they gradually spread over southern Michigan and northern Illinois and Indiana. The Pottawattomies joined Pontiac (q. v.), and were the friends of the English in the Revolutionary War, and subsequently, but joined in the treaty at Greenville in 1795.
