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 Treaty with the Potawatomi , signed September 19, 1827, ceded the tract reserved for the village to the U.S. He did not 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.
