29 sept. 1817 - Treaty of Fort Meigs
Description:
What Happened?
The U.S. forced the Shawnee to accept three small reservations in Wapakoneta, Lewistown, and Hog Creek, Ohio
The Lewistown Shawnee were placed alongside the Seneca Nation, linking their histories.
Impact on Shawnee Removal
This treaty marked the beginning of official U.S. reservation policy for the Shawnee, restricting them to small, fixed lands.
It also planted the seeds for future division, as these communities would later be removed separately.
