has gloss | eng: Mitchigamea or Michigamea or Mitchigamie were a tribe in the Illinois Confederation. Not much is known about them and their origin is uncertain. Originally they were said to be from the Lake Michigan, perhaps the Chicago area. Mitchie Precinct, Monroe County in Southwestern Illinois takes its name from their transient presence nearby, north of the French Fort de Chartres in the American Bottom along the Mississippi. It is suggested that they later moved to Arkansas under pressure from the Iroquois. Their most well known leader was Chief Chicagou. |

has gloss | hrv: Michigamea /Mishigamaw, "the great water" ili "big lake"/, jedno od plemena Illinois Indijanaca, jezične porodice Algonquian, čiji je izvorni dom bio na području rijeke Sangamon u Illinoisu. Odavde pod pritiskom neprijateljskih plemena sa sjevera, uključujuć Siouxe, migriraju na jug pa se nastanjuju na sjeveroistoku Arkansasa, gdje ih 1673. nalazi otac Jacques Marquette. Mira nemaju ni ovdje, napadaju ih Chickasawi, pa 1700. odlaze nazad u Illinois, gdje će se udružiti sa Kaskaskiama sa kojima dijele kasniju sudbinu. Potomaka im se može naći među mješancima Indijanaca Peoria u okrugu Ottawa u Oklahomi. |
