Walk-in-the-water, or, my-ee-rah
Chief of the Wyandotte tribe of Huron Indians.
He tried to persuade Gen. William Hull to accept his services in the War of 1812, but that officer, unwilling to use savages, declined his offer.
Though he was later compelled through circumstances to join the English, he influenced a number of tribes to remain neutral.
Subsequently with his associates he absolutely refused to aid the English and deserted at Chatham, Canada.
He then offered to ally himself to Gen. William H. Harrison, but his services were again declined and he returned to the Detroit River.
He died about 1817.
