Miami people

The Miami are an Algonquian-speaking Native American people who in the 18th century lived around the headwaters of the Maumee and Wabash rivers in present-day Indiana and Ohio, with a main town at Kekionga. Under leaders such as Little Turtle they formed part of the Western Confederacy that resisted American expansion in the 1790s. Most were removed to Kansas in 1846 and later to Oklahoma, while others stayed in Indiana.
