Text Appearing After Image: KANAKUK, THE KICKAPOO PROPHET. (after Catlin) covering nearly half the state of Illinois, they could not go to the reservation as- signed to them in Missouri because it was still occupied by the hostile Osage. Half the tribe emigrated instead to Span- ish territory in Texas, and the rest were ready to follow when the Government agents intervened, endeavoring to induce them to remove to Missouri. Kanakuk, inspired with the ideas that had moved Tenskwatawa, exhorted them to remain where they were, promising that if they lived worthily, abandoning their native superstitions, avoiding quarrels among themselves and infractions of the white man's law, and resisting the seduction of alcohol, they would at last inherit a land of plenty clear of enemies. He was accepted as the chief of the remnant who remained in Illinois, and many of the Potawatomi of Michigan became his dis- ciples. He displayed a chart of the path, leading through fire and water, which the virtuous must pursue to reach the "happy hunting grounds," and furnished his followers with prayer-sticks graven with religious symbols. When in the end the Kickapoo were removed to Kan- sas he accompanied them and remained their chief, still keeping drink away from them, until lie died of smallpox in 1852. See Mooney in 14th Rep. B. A. E., 692- 700, 1896. Kanani (Ka'nctni, ' living arrows'). A Navaho clan.—Matthews in Jour. Am. Folk-lore, iii, 104, 1890. Kanapima ('one who is talked of). An Ottawa chief, born about 40 m. s. of Mackinaw, INIich., July 12, 1813, and christenedasAugustiuHammelin, jr. He was sent with his voimger brother, Ma- coda Binnasee( The Blackbird), in 1829 to be educated in the Catholic seminary at Cincinnati, where the two boys reinained for 3 years without making marked prog- ress in their studies. In 1832 both were sent to Rome to continue their educa- tion in the college of the Propaganda Fide, with the view of entering the priesthood. This object in Kanapima's case was defeated from the usual causes. After his brother died at the end of two years he ceased his studies, returned to America, became chief of his branch of the tribe, and resumed the costume and habits of his people, except when he went among white people, as in 1835, to make a treaty for the Ottawa with the Govern- ment at Washington, but he does not appear to have been a signer of any Ottawa treaty. On such occasions he exhibited the ease and polish of a man of the world. Kanastunyi {Kdnasttin'yt).
