Kelley ****************************************************** Ohio's Huron and Wyandot Indians -- part 10. Despite the growing strength of Tecumseh and his brother, the land cessions continued. In a treaty at Detroit in November, 1807, the Wyandot, with the Detroit Ottawa, Ojibwe,and Potawatomi, surrendered a large part of southeastern Michigan. Another treaty in 1808 allowed the Americans to build a road ( Detroit to Columbus, Ohio ) through their lands. Tecumseh was furious and travelled to Canada where he received promises of support from the British. In 1809 at the Treaty of Fort Wayne and Vincennes, major cessions were made in Southern Indiana and Illinois, and Tecumseh went after the peace chiefs. During the summer of 1810, the Wyandot chief Leather Lips was assassinated by Roundhead, a Detroit Wyandot chief loyal to Tecumseh. Other Wyandot on the lower Sandusky killed two women as witches, and the calumet and wampum belts of the Alliance were transfered from Brownstown to Tecumseh's capital at Tippecanoe. The reaction of the Brownstown council that fall, was to denounce the Prophet as a witch. Tecumseh never achieved more than partial support among the important tribes of the Alliance, Wyandot, Delaware, and his own people, the Shawnee. His strength lay within the tribes in the west which were part of the alliance fighting the Osage. He traveled constantly trying to gain more support. It was during one of these journeys in 1811 that Governor William Henry Harrison marched on Tippecanoe. Ignoring his brothers' orders, Tenskwatawa ordered an attack on Harison's army and lost. Tippecanoe was destroyed. the Prophet's credibility seriously damaged, and Tecumseh had to rebuild his alliance. There was little time before the outbreak of the war of 1812. Tecumseh sided with the British, but most of the Wyandot, Delaware, and Shawnee chose to remain neutral. The Michigan Wyandot under Roundhead, however, were among Tecumseh's staunchest supporters. Tarhe and his follwers fought for the Americans. The division of the Wyandot continued until Tecumseh and Roundhead were killed at the Battle of the Thames. ( October 1813. ). Afterwards, the war in the Great Lakes came to an end. The pro-British Wyandot remained in Ontario at Anderdon. In July, 1814 at the second treaty of Greenville, the Wyandot, Delaware, Seneca ( Mingo ), and Shawnee loyal to the Americans agreed to end hostilities with the tribes which had sided with Tecumseh ( Kickapoo, Miami, Ottawa, and Potawatomi ). Major land cessions came later. In September, 1817 at the Treaty of Maumee Rapids ( Fort Meigs ), the Wyandot surrendered their remaining lands in Ohio in exchange for two reservations; The Grand Reserve on the upper Sandusky ( 12x12 miles ) and the Cranberry Reserve ( One mile square ). The Ohio Delaware, Shawnee, and Mingo received simular small reservations. The following year, the Wyandot signed two treaties at St. Mary's. The first enlarged the Grand Reserve in Ohio ( to 12 x 19 miles ) and added a reserve at Big Springs for any of the Canadian Wyandot who wished to return to the United States. In the second treaty, the Michigan Wyandot surrendered Brownstown ( capital of the alliance) in exchange for a reserve on the Huron River. **************************************************** Treaty of the Rapids of the Miami of Lake Erie with The Wyandot, Seneca, Delaware, Shawnee, Potawatomi, Ottawa, and Chippewa on September 29, 1817. 7 Stat., 160 Proclamation, Jan 4, 1819.

To which several parcels of land so excepted, the said tribes relinguish all the title and claim which they or any of them may have. And for the same considerations and the same views as above mentioned, the United States now deliver to the said Indian tribes a quantity of goods to the value of Twenty Thousand dollars, the receipt whereof they do hereby acknowledge; and henceforward every year, forever, the United States will deliver. at the same convenient place northward of the River Ohio, like useful goods, suited to the circumstances of the Indians, of the value of nine thousand five hundred dollars; reckoning that value at the first cost of the goods in the city or place in the United States where they shall be procured.

ARTICLE V -- To prevent any misunderstanding about the Indian lands relinquished by the United States in the fourth article, it is now explicitly declared that the meaning of that relinquishment is this; the Indian tribes who have a right to those lands, are quietly to enjoy them, hunting, planting, and dwelling thereon, so long as they please, without any molestation from the United States; but when those tribes, or any of them, shall be dispose to sell their lands, or any part of them, they are to be sold only to the United States; and until such sale, the United States will protect all the said Indian tribes in the quiet enjoyment of their lands against all citizens of the United States, and against all other white persons who intrude upon same.

ARTICLE VII -- The said tribes of Indians, parties to this treaty. shall be at liberty to hunt within the territory and lands which they have now ceded to the United States, without hindrance or molestation, so long as they demean themselves peaceably, and offer no injury to the people of the United States.

And if any licensed trader shall abuse his privilege by unfair dealing, upon complaint and proof thereof, his license shall be taken from him, and he shall be further punished accordng to the laws of the United States. And if any person shall intrude himself as a trader, without such license, the said Indians shall take and bring him before the superintendent, or his deputy, to be dealt with according to law. And to prevent impositions by forged licenses, the said Indians shall, at least once a year, give information to the superintendent, or his deputies, on the names of the traders residing among them. ARTICLE IX -- Lest the firm peace and friendship now established, should be interrupted by the misconduct of individuals, the United States, and the said Indian tribes agree, that for injuries done by individuals on either side, no private revenge or retaliation shall take place; but instead thereof, complaint shall be made by the party injured, to the other; by the said Indian tribes or any of them, to the President of the United States, or the superintendent by him appointed; and by the superintendent or person appointed by the President, to the principal chiefs of the said India tribes, or the tribe to which the offender belongs; and such prudent measures shall be taken as shall be necessary to preserve the said peace and friendship unbroken, until the legislature ( or great councl ) of the United States, shall make other equitable provision in the case, to satisfaction of both parties.
