Kee-món-saw, Little Chief, a Miami chief by George Catlin, 1830 (Wikimedia Commons).

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! The Miami people (Myaamia) are deeply involved in the history of the Old Northwest, where I now live. The Maumee River that runs from Fort Wayne, Indiana into Lake Erie is also named after the Miami people (and frequently written as the Miami River in historical documents), from an anglicised spelling of the Odawa name for the Miami.

The Miami nation was divided during the War of 1812, with factions supporting the British and the Americans. In the decades after the war the Miami were forcibly relocated from their lands and communities, regardless of their allegiance. Myaamia is both the name of the language and the demonym: in Myaamia, the original name of what is now Fort Wayne is kiihkayonki. Many Myaamia people still live in the Wabash River Valley.

Miami University in Ohio has partnered with the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma to lead Myaamia language revitalization efforts and document Myaamia culture at the Myaamia Center.

I went from a child obsessed with the Northwest Passage to an adult in love with the Old Northwest.

Is it. Is it something with the word Northwest?

As a special treat, I bought myself a physical copy of the Osprey Publishing book The Thames 1813: The War of 1812 on the Northwest Frontier, even though I own it as an e-book, because I wanted nicer and more detailed versions of the illustrations.

YES... HA HA HA... YES!

Biting and chewing on these militiamen drawn by Peter Dennis for the cover of Tippecanoe 1811: The Prophet’s battle.

A Matter of Honour has a lot of Fog of War on the expansive western frontier of the War of 1812, and both British-Canadian and American soldiers frequently overestimated enemy strength. For example, Major Thomas Evans (wrongly) thought that American forces on the other side of the Niagara River “had been prodigiously swelled by a horde of half-savage troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.…”

(hopeful voice) And you’re even scared of the troops from Ohio? 🥹
