How didi the Treaty of Greenville affect the land claims of Native Americans in the Northwest Territory?
The Treaty of Greenville was signed at Fort Greenville (now Greenville, Ohio), on August 3, 1795, between a coalition of Native Americans and the United States following the Native American loss at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. It put an end to the Northwest Indian War. The United States was represented by General “Mad” Anthony Wayne, who defeated the Native Americans at Fallen Timbers. In exchange for goods to the value of $20,000 (such as blankets, utensils, and domestic animals), the Native Americans turned over to the United States large parts of modern-day Ohio, the future site of Chicago, and the Fort Detroit area. Native American leaders who signed the treaty included members of these tribes: Wyandot Delaware (several bands) Shawnee Ottawa (several bands) Chippewa Potawatomi (several bands) Miami (several bands) Wea Kickapoo Kaskaskia The treaty established what became known as the “Greenville Treaty Line,” which was for several years a boundary between Native American territory
