"The word Piqua is the name of one of the Shawanese tribes, and
signifies, 'a man formed out of the ashes.' The tradition is, that the
whole Shawanese tribe, a long time ago, were assembled at their annual
feast and thanksgiving. They were all seated around a large fire, which
having burned down, a great puffing was observed in the ashes, when
behold! a full formed man came up out of the coals and ashes; and this
was the first man of the Piqua tribe.
