Micewehudehik

Micewehudehik is a name for the Elkhart River, which flows north through a country of lakes and wooded streams to meet the Saint Joseph River. The joined waters continue west towards Lake Michigan. In 1821 a treaty between the United States and the Ottawa, Chippewa and Potawatomi specified lands at the Elkhart's mouth for the Potawatomi chief Pierre Moran and his children. The river thus ran through a homeland increasingly subject to American land agreements.
