The word Wabash is derived from the Miami word meaning “shining white” or “water over white stones.” (Waapaahšiki Siipiiwi) [1] Most preferred the idea of 'Indiana' which in turn was Latin for "land of the Indians"- but many concerned with the notion, at the Duval Confederate Convention, claimed there wasn't enough Indians in the territory anymore to be claimed as 'Land of the Indians'. Where the convention was being held also sat on the banks of the Wabash River, which had gained a sacred connotation to the Christian population, it was the only river to be used for baptism. The three founding leaders and the settlers at the convention agreed on the name of the 'Wabash Confederation'.
