Until the conquest of Canada they were with the French, and after that with the English, until beaten by Wayne, when they became a party to the treaty at Greenville, in 1795. With Tecumseh they gave help to the British in the War of 1812.

They were disarmed in 1863, and driven into the wilderness on the Mississippi River, Dakota Territory. They were finally settled at the Omaha and Winnebago agency in Nebraska, where,
