		Tecumseh's paradigm held that the Treaty of Fort Wayne was invalid unless it was endorsed by a single, unified Indian political entity.
		The treaty also specified measures to redress, i.e., "injuries done by individuals on either side." The injuries were rarely equitably dealt with, for example, the Indians had turned over offenders for trial, which resulted in convictions followed by hangings for the Indians.
		Wayne also knew that the Indians fasted before a battle; consequently, the delay caused by building the fort was to his advantage and the Indians detriment.

		Fort St. Joseph, at the mouth of the river of that name in southwest Michigan, was in the country of the Pottawatomies, the original inhabitants of Michigan.

		On the 19th and 27th of August 1804, a treaty with the Delawares and Piankishaws cleared all the land between the Vincennes--Louisville road and the Ohio and Wabash rivers, a frontage of 300 miles on the Ohio and 150 miles on the Wabash.

	Tecumseh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In September 1809, William Henry Harrison, governor of the newly formed Indiana Territory, negotiated the Treaty of Fort Wayne in which various American Indian leaders sold about 2,500,000 acres (10,000 km²) to the United States.
		Tecumseh insisted that the Fort Wayne treaty was illegitimate; he asked Harrison to nullify it, and warned that Americans should not attempt to settle the lands sold in the treaty.
		The fort commander, Brigadier General William Hull, surrendered in fear of massacre by American Indians should he refuse.

		He remained at that point until May 1820, when he removed to Fort Wayne, re-opened his school, and continued it until the Pottawatomies were granted a reservation on the St. Joseph River, in Michigan, when he removed to that point and established the Carey Mission, December, 1822.
		It was a treaty of peace and mutual protection, the sixth article evidently indicating that the United States contemplated at the time the possible formation of an Indian State, with the Delawares at its head.
		On May 30, 1860, by treaty with the Delawares, eighty acres were assigned to each member of the tribe, in one compact body, to be held in severalty, the Leavenworth, Pawnee & Western Railroad Company to have the privilege of purchasing the remainder of their land, at not less than $1.25 per acre.

	Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation
		Several treaties, including the Treaty of Fort Wayne eroded the Potawatomi land base in Illinois and Indiana.
		The Potawatomi relinquished the remainder of their initial 28 million-acre homeland in the Great Lakes area, when the Treaty of Chicago was signed, except the reservation granted by the Treaty of Prairie du Chien, which was never included in the cession treaties.
		Since an act of Congress or a subsequent treaty is necessary to extinguish the Tribe's right to that reservation, it continues to legally belong to the Prairie Band.

		After Harrison had completed the Treaty of Fort Wayne, Tecumseh was extremely upset and said that the treaty was worthless because the tribes that signed the treaty did not own the land, but had sold it just to get money and supplies from the Americans.
		Tecumseh also stated that he viewed the treaty as non-binding and that he would ensure that those responsible for signing the treaty would be held responsible for their actions.
		Forts suddenly appeared throughout the American communities and the Indians continued their random attacks across the northwest.

		It was now the opinion of all the Gentlemen about the Fort that the Missisinway Miamies could never be brought to sign the Treaty and all the attempts which the Governor had made through the Interpreters and some confidential Chiefs to find out the real cause of their obstinacy had hitherto failed.

		The Indians climbed trees in the vicinity of the fort, and watched the egress of the garrison; if one was observed going out, note was taken of the direction, his path was ambushed, and his scalp awarded the assassin.

		Born near modern-day Fort Wayne, Indiana, around 1761, Jean Baptiste Richardville (Peshewa, "the Wildcat") was the son of Joseph Drouet de Richardville (originally Richerville), a French trader, and Taucumwah, a sister of the prominent Miami civil and war chief Pacanne.
		He initially opposed the cession of Indian lands at negotiations for the Treaty of Fort Wayne (1809), but he signed the document after federal officials increased their offer of compensation and recognized Miami claims of lands south of the Wabash.
		Although the Miamis were forced to sign the Treaty of St. Mary's (1818), ceding much of their land, Richardville persuaded federal officials to exempt an area called the Miami National Reserve, an 875,000-acre tract in central Indiana.
