Tamaroa (tribe)

Tamaroa (tribe)

The Tamaroa were a Native American tribe in the upper Mississippi River valley of North America, and a member of the Illiniwek tribal group.

An Algonquian speaking group, like the rest of the Illiniwek, they lived on both sides of the Mississippi River, in the area where the Illinois River and Missouri River join it.

Among the signers of the treaty of 1818 by which the Illiniwek tribe ceded about half of present state of Illinois were two leaders of the Tamaroa.

The descendants of the tribe later merged with other tribes of the Illiniwek; as a consequence of Indian removal, their descendants are to be found in Oklahoma, as the Confederated Peoria Tribe.
