Description
This temporary exhibit introduces you to the complex history of St. Clair’s Defeat, on November 4, 1791, and its context and aftermath with respect to the nine Tribal Nations who orchestrated this great defeat of the U.S. Military. This exhibit was co-created with 11 Tribal Humanities Scholars.
The exhibit’s four themes, design, 15-minute video, and immersive qualities contextualize the:
1) Background of the Northwest Indian War in what is now Ohio and Indiana;
2) St. Clair’s Defeat and Native crescent strategy;
3) Aftermath including broken treaties, removal, and boarding schools; and
4) Persistence of Tribes today.
