- [Narrator] Miami,
Piankeshaw, Kickapoo, Delaware,

5
00:00:10.390 --> 00:00:12.570
just some of the Native
American tribes that made

6
00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:14.800
Indiana the land of the Indians,

7
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.610
holding off advancing whites for years.

8
00:00:17.610 --> 00:00:20.150
The Miami war chief Little Turtle defeated

9
00:00:20.150 --> 00:00:23.380
General Arthur St. Clair in 1791,

10
00:00:23.380 --> 00:00:27.040
the biggest Native American
victory over the US ever.

11
00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:29.670
20 years later, Tecumseh,
a Shawnee leader,

12
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:31.470
tried to unite all Indians.

13
00:00:31.470 --> 00:00:33.510

15
00:00:34.810 --> 00:00:36.930
by General William Henry Harrison,

16
00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:39.520

from Indiana, including the Potawatomi

19
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.400
in 1838's Trail of Death.

20
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:49.410
