Pawwikamsipi

Pawwikamsipi is the Little Wabash River, which winds south through the Illinois prairie to join the Wabash. Its valley lies within a landscape long used by the Piankashaw and other peoples of the Wabash country. In the early nineteenth century Piankashaw families lived on land between the Little Wabash and the Embarras that they considered their reservation. The river's course through low ground and woodland connects those inland lands with the larger waterway to the east.
