Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma,[1] other tribes within the Miami-Illinois Confederacy
The Moingona or Moingwena (Miami-Illinois: mooyiinkweena)[2] were a historic Miami-Illinois tribe. They may have been close allies of or perhaps part of the Peoria. They were assimilated by that tribe and lost their separate identity about 1700. Today their descendants are enrolled in the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma,[1] a federally-recognized tribe.
