By the 1800's, that's the standard Algonquian name for the Ioways as well; for example, Miami <I>aayohoowia</I>, Shawnee <I>haayawhhowe</I>, and Sauk <I>a:yohowe:wa</I>, and Menominee <I>ayo:ho:wE:w</I>.<BR>

I suspect that Illinois speakers were among the first of the central Algonquians to encounter many of these Siouan tribes, since in the oldest records, Illinois often has Siouan names for these tribes that are later replaced by more normal 'Algonquian' names. in addition to these 'Ioway' names, another example is the name for the Hochunks; in Illinois, they're variously known as <8ndakia> or <8ndankia>, which is clearly the Siouan name, but by the 1820's on they're only known by the Miami-Illinois name <I>wiinipiikwa. </I> <BR>
