Before English, French or any European language was spoken in the spot of the map where Missouri sits, Native American tribes brought their own dialects to the region.
One of those dialects was Chiwere, a Siouan language originally spoken by the Otoe, Iowa and Missouria tribes.
It s an endangered language that researchers and descendants of its speakers are working hard to preserve.
The Missouria is the tribe behind the state of Missouri’s name. Its people originally came from the Great Lakes region. They were thought to be part of a bigger tribe with the Otoe, Iowa, Winnebago and Ho-Chunk peoples, before they split off and moved south to the area that is now North Central Missouri in the 1500’s.
Blue Township resident lobbies Pottawatomie County for better roads to accommodate growth
Blue Township resident Judson Jones used to live in a remote section of Pottawatomie County at the northeast corner of the Green Valley Road/Junietta Road intersection.
But today, his home at 8801 Junietta Road is surrounded by housing developments. Junietta Road is now paved east to where the road curves north and becomes Moody Road. Jones says as the area becomes more developed, the township lacks an adequate road system to handle the additional traffic.
“I’ve had seven accidents in front of my house that I’ve turned into the Sheriff’s department and said somebody hit my house again today, somebody hit my house again today, somebody hit my house again today,” he said. “I’m here to beg that you consider this piece of road a prime piece of road network,” he said.

This year the state of Missouri is celebrating its 200th birthday. But few people today know about the Native American tribe behind the state’s name.

The City of Manhattan is resuming discussions about possible future annexation of the Green Valley area.
City Manager Ron Fehr informed Pottawatomie County Commissioners Monday that after putting off a discussion with its consultant last year due to the pandemic, the city has since re-engaged the conversation.
“We’ve invested heavily in that particular area from an infrastructure standpoint. As you know, we have an inter-local agreement with you for the sewer district,” Fehr said.
That coupled with agreements the city has with the rural water district help provide residents with services from the City of Manhattan. Fehr says he was surprised by the incorporation petition submitted by some in the area last month which assumed those agreements would continue, if a new city were incorporated.
