Chief of the Miami Indians. It is thought that he received the rudiments of an education in a Canadian Jesuit school. He was remarkable both for his intelligence and for his prowess in war. He defeated General Harmar on the Miami River in 1790, and General St. Clair at St. Mary’s on November 4th of the following year. After trying to dissuade his friends from forcing an engagement, he took part in the battle of Fallen Timbers on August 20, 1794, when the Indians were defeated by Anthony Wayne, the “Chief who never sleeps.” In 1795 he signed the treaty of Grenville, which ended the war. In 1797 he made a visit to Philadelphia, and there met President Washington, Count Volney and others. He died in Fort Wayne, IN, on the 14th of July 1812.
