Who were the first Native Americans to live in Illinois?
Illinois or Illini or Illiniwek is the name given to a group of around 12 connected tribes living in the upper reaches of the Mississippi river. They included the Peoria, the Michigamea, the Cahokia, the Chinkoa and the Kaskaskia. French explorers found the Cahokia tribe living near to an unnamed and abandoned native city on the east bank of the river, so they called the soite Cahokia (we have no idea of its real, original name or the name of the tribe who built it). The remnant of all 12 tribes were removed to "Indian Territory" in the 1830s - this became the modern state of Oklahoma.

Where did the Cahokia Indians live?
Cahokia is a large Mississippian (AD 1000-1600) agricultural settlement and mound group located on the American Bottom of the Mississippi River in Illinois. At its height, Cahokia was the center of the Mississippian culture, with a population of about 20,000 people and trade connections throughout the midwest. Many of Cahokia's outlying settlements in the vicinity of East St. Louis were investigated in advance of highway construction. The researcher most associated with Cahokia would probably be Melvin L. Fowler, who conducted excavations in the 1960s and 1970s.
