MIAMI

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 354 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MIAMI , a tribe of
North
  American Indians of Algonquian stock. The
English
  called them Twightwees, a corruption of the native name, which meant the cry of the
crane
 . They were first found in
south
 -eastern
Wisconsin
 , and in 1764 numbered about 1750. Their civilization was advanced and they lived in stockaded towns. They took
part
  in Pontiac's conspiracy in 1764 and in the American War of Independence and American War of 1812 they fought on the
English
  side. At the close of this war they were greatly reduced in numbers. A few Miami still live on a
reservation
  in Oklahoma and in
Wabash
  county, Indiana.
