The Pekowi AKA Piqua (Man Who Arose from the Ashes) was one of the Shawnees septs. They moved frequently: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Illinois. They currently reside on the Absentee Shawnee Reservation in Oklahoma, the Piqua Sept Shawnee of Ohio, and the Piqua Shawnee of Alabama. My Shawnee ancestors lived in Columbiana, Ohio along the Pennsylvania border, and moved to Shawneetown, Illinois, settled by the Pekowi. [site of town of Piqua, pole. Battle of Piqua, 1780]
