The Illiniwek were natives of Illinois. The Illiniwek both farmed and hunted for their food. Cheif Black Hawk was a famous Illiniwek cheif. The Illiniwek had 3 different settlement types. Hunting shelters, which were used by hunters because they were easy to move. Summer settlements which were a bit more permanant and were made of good heavy pole frame work. Last were the winter villages, which were a little bit like both of the other 2 settlements.
