Shawnees, a tribe of American Indians of the Algonquin family, formerly settled mainly in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, but driven westward by the Iroquois. They helped the French against the English, gave trouble to the newly-founded United States, and in 1812 some bands joined the English. They afterwards removed to Missouri, Kansas, and Indian Territory.
