After the successful campaigns of
Gen. Anthony Wayne against the
Northwestern Indian tribes in 1793-94, his army lay in winter quarters in
Greenville, Darke co., O., and there, on Aug. 3, 1795, he concluded a treaty with several of the tribes—namely, Wyandottes, Delawares, Shawnees, Ottawas, Chippewas, Pottawatomies,
Miamis,
Eel River Indians,
Weas, Piankshaws, Kickapoos, and Kaskaskias.
There were 1,130 Indian participants in making the treaty.
The principal chiefs present were Tarhe, Buckhongehelas, Black Hoof, Blue Jacket, and
Little Turtle.
The basis of the treaty was that hostilities should permanently cease and all prisoners be restored.
The boundary-line between the
United States and the lands of the several tribes was fixed.
