The Wea Indians, part of the larger Miami tribe, traditionally lived in wigwams, which were dome-shaped structures made from wooden frames covered with bark or mats made from grasses and rushes. These homes were well-suited for the seasonal movements of the Wea, allowing them to adapt to their environment. In addition to wigwams, they also constructed larger council houses for community gatherings. Their dwellings reflected their semi-nomadic lifestyle and reliance on the Natural Resources around them.

Did a Sioux Indian tribe ever live in the state of Indiana and where?

Yes, the pre-contact population has been estimated at between 20,000 and 75,000 people. The name Indiana meant "Land of the Indians".Here is a list of who lived there from 1650-1850:Lenape, Kickapoo Shawnee, Miami, Mahican, Mascouten, Nantioke, Ojibwa (also called Chippewa), Ottawa, Piankeshaw, Potawatomi, Wea, Ho-Chunk(also called Winnebago), Wyandot, Tionantati/Petun.Between the early 1830s and 1846 most of the native people were forcibly removed by the Pres. Jackson Administration. The largest tribe in the state, the Miami Tribe, was the last to be removed. Some of the Miami who had privately held lands stayed under the Treaty of St Marys' and eventually mostly married into other families.Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians are the only group that had permission to stay. There are 3,634 today.All the land owned, taxed, invested in, or rented, or used for parks or government buildings and the military, and all the natural resources and water in the State of Indiana is land that was forcibly taken by the US Government from tribal people.This is a list of "Unrecognized" tribal groups in Indiana:Indian Eel River Tribe, Lone Wolf Band of Cherokee Indians, Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana, Northern Cherokee Tribe of Indiana, United Métis Tribe, Buffalo Spirit Band of the United Métis Tribe, Nimkii Band of the United Métis Tribe, Upper Kispoko Band of the Shawnee Nation, Wea Indian Tribe, Wea Indian Tribe of Indiana, The Zibiodey of Indiana.


How do you prononce Quiatenon?

Quiatenon (or Ouiatenon) seems to be a major village of the Wea tribe, who were themselves part of the Miami people. In an early French account the word is written Oui-a-tanon. This is said to mean "Wea Town", so it seems very likely that the initial O has been mistaken for a Q at some time, changing the word from OUIA-tanon (pronounced Weatanon) to QUIAtenon. This misunderstanding is typical of European difficulties with native languages.
