| | The 'Miami' entry from Hodge's handbook of American Indians |
 | | Kekionga, at the head of the Maumee, became the chief seat of the Miami proper, while Ouiatenon, on the Wabash, was the headquarters of the Wea branch. |
 | | The Miami men were described in 1718 as "of medium height, well built, heads rather round than oblong, countenances agreeable rather than sedate or morose, swift on foot, and excessively fond of racing." The women were generally well clad in deerskins, while the men used scarcely any covering and were tattooed all over the body. |
 | | In 1825 the population of the Miami, Eel Rivers, and Wea was given as 1,400, of whom 327 were Wea. |
