Little Turtle [Michikinikwa). A chief 

 of the Miami tribe, born at his village on 

 Elel r., Ind., in 1752. His father was 

 a Miami chief and his mother a Mahican; 

 hence, according to the Indian rule, he 

 was a Mahican and received no advan- 

 tage from his father's rank — that is, he 

 was not chief by descent. However, his 

 talents having attracted the notice of his 

 countrymen, he was made chief of the 

 jMiami whUe a comparatively young man. 

 Little Turtle was the principal leader of 

 the Indian forces that defeated Cen. 

 Harmaron Miami r. in Oct. 1790, and Cen. 

 St Clair, at St. .Marys, Nov. 4, 1791, and 

 he and Bluejacket were among the fore- 

 most leaders of the Indians in their con- 

 flict with Gen. Wayne's army in 1795, al- 

 though he had urged the Indians to make 

 peace with this "chief who never sleeps." 

 After their defeat by the whites he joined 

 in the treaty at Greenville, Ohio, Aug. 3, 

 1795, remarking, as he signed it, "I am 

 the last to sign it, and I will be the last to 

 break it." Faithful to this promise he 

 remained passive and counseled peace on 

 the part of his people until his death at 

 Ft Wayne, July 14, 1812. Early in 1797, 

 accompanied by Capt. Wells, his brother- 

 in-law, he visited President Washington 

 at Philadelphia, where he met Count Vol- 

 ney and Gen. Kosciusko, the latter pre- 

 senting him with his own pair of elegantly 

 mounted pistols. Although Tecumseh 

 endeavored to draw him away from his 

 peaceful relations with the whites, his 



efforts were in vain. Llitte Turtle's In- 

 dian name as signed to different treaties
