These nations were spread out over a vast territory south of lakes Huron, Michigan and Erie. The Miami, who were divided into six tribes, had settled along the Wabash and Maumee rivers; the Potawatomi, the Menominee, the Sauk and the Fox occupied the region west of Lake Michigan, south of Green Bay; the Kickapoo lived along the southern part of Lake Erie; the Shawnee inhabited the Ohio Valley; and the Illinois were divided among a dozen villages on both banks of the Mississippi, between the Missouri and the Ohio.
