History When French explorers first journeyed to the region from Canada in the early 17th century, they found the area inhabited by a vigorous, populous Algonquian nation. What we know today about the Illiniwek comes to us mainly from the Jesuit Relations. The Relations were the reports which these missionaries who lived among the various native nations sent back to their superiors in France. (16th century - 17th century - 18th century - more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 17th century was that century which lasted from 1601-1700. ...

The name 'Iliniwek' is an Ojibwe word borrowed into French, and means 'those who speak in the ordinary way, regular way'. In turn, this word was borrowed by Ojibwe from the Illinois language, from an original verb irenweewaki, which means 'they speak in the regular way, speak Illinois'. The Illinois Tribes' name for themselves was 'Inoka', as documented in the French Jesuit dictionaries of Illinois. The Illinois themselves spoke various subdialects of the Miami-Illinois language, a member of the Algonquian language family. The anthropologist Hermann Baumann recorded male-to-female trans priestesses among the Illiniwek people.[1] For other uses of Chippewa, see Chippewa (disambiguation). ...

According to a story recorded by historian Francis Parkman in The Conspiracy of Pontiac (1851), a terrible war of retaliation against the Illiniwek resulted from the 1769 murder of the Ottawa war chief Pontiac by a Peoria warrior. According to the tale, the Peorias were practically wiped out as a result at what is now Starved Rock State Park. This legend was debunked by historian Howard Peckham in 1947, although it is still sometimes repeated in non-scholarly sources. There is no evidence that there were any reprisals for Pontiac's murder.
