 DeKalb County Il - History - Shabbona and Blackhawk
Blackhawk had been warned by the Potawatomi chief, Shabbona, in a meeting near what was Sauk-e-nuk (near Rock Island) that he (Blackhawk) was doomed if he chose to try to return to Illinois.
"Yes," said Shabbona, who had fought alongside Tecumseh during the War of 1812, "but the whites are like the leaves on those trees." He effectively prevented most of the Potawatomi from entering a war that would be doomed from the start.
The possibility that Shabbona met Abraham Lincoln during this time is enhanced by the fact that later Lincoln invited Shabbona to Ottawa as a guest of honor in one of the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates.

 Shabbona
Shabbona was a tall burly man, with a wide pleasant face, whose name -- variously recorded as Shau-b-nee, Chaboneh, Chamblee, and several other ways -- meant "strong built like a bear".
Shabbona was an Ottawa Indian, an Algonquian tribe driven out of southeastern Ontario by the Iroquois and westward to Michigan.
During the Blackhawk War he guided American troops on their westward marches across Illinois; and during the subsequent "Winnebago Scare" he spent days and nights warning white settlers in the Illinois valley and as far as Chicago.

For his actions, Shabni, or Shabbona, was given the title of "Friend of the Whites." He was also 'given' (again) his land that was treatied to the Potawatomi in the 1829 Prairie Du Chein Treaty.
His people were forced, at gunpoint, to leave their homes for Beardstown, Illinois in 1837 to join other Potawatomi in the Trail of Death march to Iowa where they eventually ended up on a reservation near Mayetta, Kansas.
Because he made several trips from his home in Illinois to his people in Iowa and Kansas -- to try and help ease their suffering -- Shabbona's land was declared 'abandoned' and taken from him.
