	Chief Logan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		1725–1780), usually known as Chief Logan or John Logan in historical records, was a Mingo Native American leader in the era before the American Revolutionary War, whose revenge for the brutal killing of his family members by white frontiersmen helped spark the conflict known as Dunmore's War.
		Logan's father was Shikellamy, an important Cayuga diplomat for the Iroquois Confederacy, who worked to maintain the "Covenant Chain" relationship with the colony of Pennsylvania.
		Influential tribal chiefs in the region, such as Cornstalk (Shawnee), White Eyes (Lenape), and Guyasuta (Seneca/Mingo), attempted to negotiate a peaceful resolution lest the incident develop into a larger war, but by Native American custom Logan had the right to retaliate, and he intended to do just that.
