Miami Indians
A tribe of the Algonquian family, belonging chiefly to
what is now Wisconsin, where the French first came in contact with them
in 1690. After 1700 many removed to Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
adjoining territory. In the colonial wars they fought indifferently on
both sides. In 1812 they served under Tecumseh with the British against
the Americans. =Index=: (Lord Dorchester era) Dorchester's speech to, 282. =Bib.=: Hodge,
