With defeat after a long and bitter war, there was a terrible peiod of social disintegration within the tribes of alliance after 1795. Whiskey became a major problem, and civil authority broke down. The " peace chiefs" ( Walking-in-the-water was the Wyandot peace chief ) controlled the tribal councils and were determined to cooerate with the Americans. Although sometimes this was helped by bribery, most were doing the best they could, and it was, in general, a thankless job which all too often, put them in danger from their own people. There was little coperation between the individual tribes, and an attempt to resurrect the alliance at Brownstown in 1801 failed. The Americans, however, were not satisfied with the lad gained at Greenville and were soon pressing for more cessions. In 1805, the Wyandot ( also Delaware, Ottawa, Ojibwe, Shawnee, and Potawatomi ) signd the Treaty at Fort Industry ceding more land and agreeing to a new " permanent frontier." The time was ripe for an upheaval and revolt. That year, a prophet arose among the Shawnee with a message of spiritual renewal, rejection of the whiteman's trade goods and whiskey, and return to traditional ways. His name was Tenskwatawa ( The Open Door, [ Tecumseh's 3rd triplet brother] ). He had several rivals for spiritual leadership, and his teachngs were simular to Neolin, the Delaware prophet whose new religion had provided the impetus for Pontiac's Rebellion in 1763. What made Tenskwatawa different was his brother was Tecumseh. Tecumseh was a respected warrior, natural leader, and a spell binding orator. Completely opposed to further land cessions to the Americans, he also favored the formaion of an alliance of all tribes, even former eemies, to accomplish this. Tecumseh gave his bother's religious movement a political purpose directly opposed to the authority of the peace chiefs. After Tenskwatawa predicted a solar eclipse in 1806, his movement gained a large following in several tribes. Because of their important position within the old alliance, Wyandot support was crucial for Tecumseh, but the new religion had made an ugly side which alienated many. In 1806 Tenskwatawa visited the Wyandot villages. After making several converts, the Prophet denounced four women as witches. Only the intervention of the Wyandot chief Tarhe prevented their execution. Simular events occurred among the Delaware with fatal results for the accused. ****************************************************** To be continued in part 10. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 16:27:22 -0400 From: "Maggie Stewart" <maggieohio@columbus.rr.com> To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <001001c0190f$812ba960$0300a8c0@local.net> Subject: Fw: OBIT: SMITH, 1915 Pickaway County Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: <SCHcrochet@aol.com> Sent: Sunday, June 04, 2000 9:07 PM Subject: obit Hi Maggie, Here's an obit for you, date 6-5-1915, from Circleville Paper MRS.

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.
