		The village was abandoned after 1817 with the signing of the Fort Meigs Treaty in which the Shawnee, greatly weakened and reduced in number in Ohio, agreed to relinquish their remaining lands in Ohio for reservation lands west of the Mississippi River.

	Tecumseh falls short of dream of tribal unification, Indian purity
		As Meriwether Lewis and William Clark pushed off toward the unknown West in May 1804, a 35-year-old Shawnee Indian was already working to achieve a grand vision for his people, a vision that was meant to thwart the very goal of the Lewis & Clark expedition.
		His name was Tecumseh, meaning the "panther passing across," in token of a meteor his father saw on the night of his birth in 1768, in the village of Chalahgawtha, near present-day Xenia, Ohio.
		Tecumseh and his emotionally unstable brother, Tenskwatawa, also known as The Prophet, urged Indians to stop using whites' goods and to return to bow-and-arrow hunting, stone tools and earthenware pots, native religion, no intermarriage with whites and no more use of alcohol, which had become the great scourge of many tribes.
