1779 February 28th
- At St. Joseph, Louis Chevallier spoke with condescension, but also from long experience when he lamented the loss of old alliance chiefs in the largely Potawatomi village around Saint Joseph. (Letter Chevallier to Haldimand MPHC 19:375) Chevallier laments the separation of Potawatomi into smaller groups where each village has its own chief . . . not united under the same chief. The Algonquian chiefs had less of a world view at this time . . . had not mediated with powerful people as the old OKEMAS (chiefs)had.

1782
- The Algonquians were warriors, not soldiers; their victories proved their courage, their fighting ability, and the strength of manitous, but they did not drive out the Americans, for Algonquian warriors would neither submit to discipline nor remain long in the field. They fought to kill their enemies and to defend their homes, not to take and hold territory. The result was a war of small parties in which each side's settlements were vulnerable to attack, but in which neither side gained lasting advantage.
