The Miami Indians

The Miamis originally lived in Indiana and southern Michigan. They moved into the Maumee Valley around A.D. 1700 and
soon became the most powerful Indian tribe in Ohio. The Miamis speak a form of the Algonquian Indian language and so
are related to the Delaware, Ottawa, and Shawnee Indians.
Political alliances were complicated and changed with the times. The Miamis were allies of the
French until British traders moved into the Ohio country around A.D. 1740. The French forced
the British out of Ohio and the Miamis allied themselves with the French again until the British
victory in the French and Indian War. As French trading posts turned into British forts, the
Ohio Indians banded together to ght the British. During the American Revolution, the Miami
fought with the British against the Americans. After the defeat of the British they continued to
ght the Americans.
Little Turtle was one of the greatest chiefs of the Miamis. He led a force of Miamis and other
Indians to victory over two American armies, defeating the army of General Harmar in 1790
(Harmars Defeat) and the army of General St. Clair in 1791 (St. Clairs Defeat).
General Anthony Wayne nally defeated the Miamis and other Ohio Indians at the Battle of
Fallen Timbers in 1794. They surrendered most of their lands in Ohio with the signing of
the Treaty of Greenville. In 1818 the United States forced the Miamis to give up their last
reservation in Ohio.

THE MYAAMIA COLLECTION is housed in the Walter Havighurst Special

Collections and the Miami Art Museum. On November 14, 2002, the collection was
established by Miami University and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma as a repository of
Miami Indian historical and cultural materials. Although still under development, the
collection will include tribal archives, historical documents, papers, cassette tapes,
compact discs, photographs and other ephemera donated by tribal members. Efforts
of tribe members to revitalize the Miami language also comprise a signicant part of
the collection.
THE FERDINAND BACH COLLECTION OF NATIVE AMERICAN
MATERIALS in the Walter Havighurst Special Collections Library was given by
Ferdinand and Beverly Small Bach in 1988. A catalog of the collection is available in
Special Collections.
THE NATIVE AMERICAN WOMEN PLAYWRIGHTS ARCHIVE (NAWPA)
is a cooperative venture with the Miami University Libraries and Miamis Theatre
Department. NAWPA is a collection of original materials by Native women playwrights
of the Americas. It is housed in The Walter Havighurst Special Collections.
