Mihšihkinaahkwa · Miami war leader of Kekionga
On the record
War leader of the Miami, victor over Harmar (1790) and St. Clair (1791), and a signatory at Greenville in 1795, where his “glorious gate” speech survives in four differing primary versions published by the Myaamia Center.
He died at the home of his son-in-law William Wells near Fort Wayne and was buried with U.S. military honours in ancestral ground near Spy Run — a defeated enemy accorded a garrison’s respect. The 1912 Lawton Place grave identification is taken up in “Little Turtle's grave was found on Lawton Place in 1912”.
