Black Bob/Wa-wah-che-pa-e-hai is the name of a Native American Shawnee Chief. His band was originally a part of the Hathawekela division of the Shawnee. About the year 1826 they separated from their kindred, then living in eastern Missouri on land granted to them about 1793 by Baron Carondelet, near Cape Girardeau. It was then controlled by Spain.
They removed to the area of Kansas, where by treaty with their chief, Black Bob in 1854, the United States gave them rights to land on the Shawnee reservation in that state. Under Black Bob's leadership, in 1808 they had refused to remove with the rest of the tribe to Indian Territory.
