Sagamore Mihšihkinaahkwa: Chief Little Turtle.. a Miami Tribe
War Chief.
--------------------------------------------------
Chief Little Turtle, or, “Sagamore Mihšihkinaahkwa” (in the Miami-Illinois language), was born in 1747 and crossed-over to the Spirit July 14th 1812.
He is a Sagamore (Chief) of the Miami People, who became one of the most famous Indigenous American military leaders. Historian Wiley Sword calls him: “perhaps the most capable Indian leader then, in the Old Northwest,”.
Although, he later signed several treaties, ceding land, which caused him to lose his leader status, during the battles and this became a prelude to the “War of 1812”.
