Introduction / History

The early Miami tribe were known to grow a unique kind of corn. They were at odds with the US soon after the Revolutionary War since they lived in Ohio, what was then called the Northwest Territory. They were defeated and soon settlers arrived. The US broke a number of treaties with them.

The Miami tribe lives in Indiana and Oklahoma. They speak English rather than their traditional language. There is a project at the Miami University of Ohio to revive their language.
