Inscription. The American Indian tribes living in this region
at the time of the Indian wars were not
originally from the area. The Delaware had
been pushed westward into this region by
the expansion of European settlement in the
eastern United States. The Ottawa, Potawatomi,
and Wyandot moved southward into Ohio, the
Miami entered from the west, and the Shawnee
moved in from the south. Whether new to this
land or not, they would fight to defend it.
