Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish (also spelled with various transliterations as
Mashipinashiwish,
Me-chee-pee-nai-she-insh,
Mash-i-pi-wish ,
Mitch-e-pe-nain-she-wish, or
Mat-che-pee-na-che-wish) is the name of a chief of a
Potawatomi Indian group. He signed the
Treaty of Greenville, in 1795, as a
Chippewa chief with the
English name of
Bad Bird (the Chippewa were closely allied with the Potawatomi and
Ottawa).
The
Treaty of Chicago, which he signed on
August 29,
1821 as an Ottawa, reserved a three mile square tract for a village at the head of the
Kalamazoo River (spelled then as
Kekalamazoo), the present-day city of
Kalamazoo.
The
Treaty with the Potawatomi, signed
September 19,
1827, ceded the tract reserved for the village to the U.S. He didn't sign the 1828
Treaty with the Potawatomi, which ceded additional land in southwest Michigan, although he did sign the 1832
Treaty with the Potawatomi, which also ceded additional land in the area.
The
Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi (formerly known as the
Gun Lake tribe), based in
Dorr, Michigan in
Allegan County, take their name from this chief.
