The Treaty of Fort WayneThis is an artist’s depiction of the meeting between the Americans (General Harrison at the right) and the Delaware, Eel River, Miami, Kickapoo, Wea and Potawatomi nations.
Tecumseh & HarrisonTecumseh led 400 armed warriors from several different tribes to meet Harrison after the Treaty of Fort Wayne was signed (1809). He insisted the treaty was illegal asking Harrington to tear it up. Tecumseh also warned the Americans not to settle the lands sold in the treaty. Harrison responded saying the Miami, etc. were the owners of the land; therefore, they had every right to sell it if they wanted. Harrison rejected Tecumseh’s claim that all the Indians formed one nation. Before leaving the meeting with Harrison Tecumseh informed the Americans he would seek an alliance with the British. Tensions escalated the following year when Tecumseh’s warriors clashed with American settlers the next year.
