Fifty years ago (1720) the Miamis were settled at Chicago, and were, at this time, “divided into three villages, one at the river St. Joseph, a second on Miami of Lake Erie, and the third called the Watanons of the Wabash.” “There is scarcely a doubt,” adds Charlevoix, “but that this nation and the Illinois were not long since one people, considering the affinity of their languages.” Charlevoix, Hist. Journ. p. 114.
