<br>Wah-Bah Shik-Ki was the name the Indians gave the river, it meant “pure white” The French arrived at the shores of the river and called it “Quabache” Next the settlers spelled it Wabash. Indians created many villages along the banks. Fur Traders, Missionaries and French explorers turn it into a great trading route which linked to the lower Great Lakes and the Missippi River. George Rogers Clark defeated the British, and took hold of the Northwest Territory. | <br>Wah-Bah Shik-Ki was the name the Indians gave the river, it meant “pure white” The French arrived at the shores of the river and called it “Quabache” Next the settlers spelled it Wabash.
