The Battle for Indiana

Long before settlers set foot in Indiana, many Native American tribes lived there undisturbed. But trouble started brewing when Europeans and Americans arrived and fought for control of the land.

Interesting video. I'm a Miami Indian, born and raised in Miami County, Indiana. My great great grandfather, Chief John Bull Mongosa, was one of the last war chiefs of the tribe before most of the Miami tribe was forced by the government to move to the Kansas and Oklahoma Indian reservations in 1840.

[@deborahvonfeldt7394]

I am Miami. I am from the Miami's of Oklahoma. My great grandpa many many years ago was chief Little Turtle in which he was a war chief. I still live in Oklahoma.

I live by the wabash river and there's still an old hidden outpost and railroad tracks going into the water for the boats to load gear onto Land. There's a gazebo but it's almost completely rotted away.

I’m only watching this cause of Elearning

[@galaxykitten5426]

I'm studying Indiana for my project and this doesn't add up to what I learned

[@ssssaa2]

That's because this video was made by another individual from your class who was not as well versed as you are in the subject.

[@Chief2Moon]

It's a simplified,couple minute,condensed video, not a full documentary. What did you expect? Don't get lazy in class.

[@yourangelinfleshorsackclot1523]

dont research "history" books. look between the cracks. its "not adding up" because you caught someone lying.. become a detective lol

[@TysWifeyy]

I’m from Indiana and would love to know what you’ve learned!

Smithsonian has a habit of "whitewashing"

[@basilbrush8620]

The British actually created a buffer so that settlers could NOT encroach on Indian territory, but the Americans DID go out and seize it.

WOW a city of 1,500? That is NOT a city of thousands !

[@Briellen_Mellott]

Clark was my hero in Elementary School. Hearing that story of the massacre a few years back put him near the bottom of my list. If you have an issue with the British, deal with them.

[@jasjfl]

I like how they celebrate his needless slaughter of 5 people to "send a message".

[@bill1589]

3:31 called the execution brutal, not exactly celebrating it

[@elizabethwest7862]

[@orange70383]

The trouble started when Smithsonian got involved with it.

[@Chief2Moon]

That's a ridiculous uninformed "old wives tale" only believed or repeated by conspiracy buffs. If you'd ever been to the Smithsonian you'd see how wrong you are.

Terrible that essentially no natives live in Indiana today.

[@johnu1100]

A somewhat manufactured story boosting Clark. The outcome was glorious for the Americans but it's still a matter of history-juggling.

[@kwilson6604]

Don't you find it fascinating that the Smithsonian groups GIANT/Fallen Angel/Nephilim skeletons into ONE classification and calls them ALL: "Indian"?? Where are the skeletons of these GIANTS that we sent to the Smithsonian for safe keeping??

[@otterbrett]

it's part of the anti Joseph Smith conspiracy

[@Daylon91]

Many great skeletons or giant ones were destroyed in the 1800's. One reason is Darwin...

[@Chief2Moon]

+daylon boender you three need to learn some real history& avoid the anti-science conspiracy theories, phony Smithsonian"hiding of artifact", &Nephilim giant stories. It makes ya sound like fringe loonies to those who actually study archaeology.....no offense,just trying to be helpful.

[@Daylon91]

@@Chief2Moon there are accounts from numerous if not all cultures that spoke of giants. Even living to 900 was spoken about. Like the Biblical flood has over 250 legends from different cultures that all say the exact same thing so...also the Bible was written thousands of years later or compiled .... I had to stop a good video to respond to your phoney ass. Pleaee look into the Scriptures because then perhaps your eyes will be opened

[@Chief2Moon]

+daylon boender You look to scripture, I'll look to science& archaeology.

[@johannesswillery7855]

Perhaps the Miami drove the Mississippian peoples out of Indiana.

[@dmongosa]

No, the Miami actually traded peacefully with the Mississippian tribes and further south to the Gulf of Mexico. The Europeans who migrated to American and their constant western expansion is what forced all the Native tribes to move from east of the Mississippi to further western unihabited lands.

[@johannesswillery7855]

@@dmongosa Two completely different cultures. They didn't occupy those areas at the same time. Someone drove the Mississippians out before the Europeans got here.

[@dmongosa]

@Johanness Willery the Mississippian mound builders were around till the 16th century. The Spanish began exploring America in 1493, so I'm sure those European invaders brought with them disease and weapons that the Mississippian culture had no defense against. Historically, large Native populations in those conflicts moved to safer areas.

The Indians fought and killed other Indians for land as well.
