May 27, 1763 Battle of Fort Miami

On Friday May 27, 1763, 100's of Ojibway Soldiers including their Indian allies, approached Fort Miami which was located in close proximity to Miami Anishinabe people who were not fully cooperating with Ojibway ogimak (leaders) during their wars between Ohio Indians and whites, between 1750 and 1815. They were known to favor being neutral. Fort Miami was located where Maumee, Ohio is now which is about 10 miles south of Michigan. Miami is an Ojibway word which is spelled as Ma-um-mee or Maumee. It means "Peninsula." On orders given to them by their principle chief, Ojibway Soldiers coerced Fort Miami's English commander, to hold negotiations with them but they killed him. Them remaining English Soldiers in Fort Miami (about 9 in all) peacefully surrendered without being harmed afterwards.
