HE WENT TO SANDUSKY WHERE SIMON KENTON, THE FRONTIERSMAN HAD BEEN CAPTURED BY THE SHAWNEE AND NEGIOTED FOR SIMON KENTONS LIFE. PIERRE HAD A SON BY A SHAWNEE MAIDEN NAMED ASOUNDECHRIS FLATHEAD, DO YOU HAVE ANY INFO ON HER WHATSOEVER. I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ABOUT HER EXCEPT THAT SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF GEORGE DROUILLARD, INTERPRETER, HUNTER FOR THE LEWIS &CLARK EXPEDITION OF 1804-08. I AM CURIOUS WHY HER NAME WOULD BE "FLATHEAD" --WAS IT A DEFORMITY OR WAS SHE CAPTURED AND TAKEN INTO HE SHAWNEE TRIBE FROM THE NORTHWEST. I ONLY KNOW THAT SHE BORE HER SON IN WINDSOR CANADA [THERE WAS NO DIVIDE BETWEEN USA AND CA. THEN], I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WAS FROM THE SHAWNEE TRIBE NEAR LK.ERIE, OR FROM THE DETROIT AREA. I HAVE RESEARCHED TECUMSEH, WHOM I THINK WAS A WONDERFUL MAN, AND THOUGHT PERHAPS ASOUNDECHRIS WAS PART OF HIS TRIBE, BUT HAVE FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE ASKED ANTHROPOLOGISTS, HISTORIANS, AUTHORS, ETC. ALL OVER THE USA ABOUT THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER. THE OHIO ARCHIVES HAS NO RECORD OF HER. ANY TID BIT OF INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFUL, I THOUGHT PERHAPS YOUR ORAL TRADITIONS MENTIONED HER LINEAGE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE ARE DROUILLARD FAMILIES IN RICE, CO. WOULD YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE AND THE FR. AND INDIAN WAR? I ENJOYED YOUR WEB SITE VERY MUCH AND IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE. SINCERELY, NANCY DROUILLARD, MICHIGAN .
