[edit] Conflicting information
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illiniwek#History the notion that Pontiac was murdered by a Peoria warrior is dismissed (with citations), and yet in this article it is stated as fact.
Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.66.231.5 (talk) 21:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Read it again: what is dismissed in the other article (and in this one too) is that a war of retaliation was waged against the Peorias because of Pontiac's murder. That legend was once repeated as fact, but it never happened. That Pontiac was murdered by a Peoria is not doubted in either article. —Kevin Myers 00:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pontiac's burial place
there is a plaque on my daily parking garage (in downtown St Louis, MO) that says it is the burial place of Ottawa chief Pontiac. Has anyone seen proof that this is actually true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.145.168.100 (talk) 19:05, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Peckham's book discusses Pontiac's burial place. He says that the burial place is unknown, and may have been at Cahokia, but evidence and tradition point to an area in St. Louis south of Market Street between Broadway and Fourth (street locations circa 1947, of course). Perhaps that's the location of your parking garage. —Kevin Myers 02:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
