Join Logan Pappenfort, Citizen of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, Director of Tribal Relations for the Illinois State Museum, and Former Director of Cultural Preservation at the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, to learn more about the history of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma (peewaaliaki). The Confederated Peorias (Kaskaskia, Peoria, Piankashaw, and Wea Indians united into a single tribe) originated in the lands bordering the Great Lakes and drained by the mighty Mississippi. They are Illinois or Inohka Indians, descendants of those who created the great mound civilizations in the central United States two thousand to three thousand years ago. In this class, you will learn the deep history of the Peoria as well as how they lived in the central Illinois river valley and what led to a long and arduous removal from the state that bears their name.
