Mekoche (or Mequachake,
Shawnee:
mecoce) was the name of one of the five divisions (or bands) of the
Shawnee, a
Native American people, during the 18th century. The other four divisions were the
Chalahgawtha,
Kispoko,
Pekowi, and
Hathawekela. (All five division names have been spelled in a great variety of ways.) Together these divisions formed the loose
confederacy that was the Shawnee tribe.
