There were many different Native American Tribes throughout North America. Based on their region, each tribe is very different from others. The Northwest Territory was home to at least seven different tribes. A few of the most well known tribes of the Northwest Territory are the Delaware, Miami, Ottawa, and Shawnee.
The Miami Native American Tribe speak Algonquian. They originally were located south of Lake Michigan, close to where Green Bay, Wisconsin is today. The tribe was separated into two groups by the Indian Removal in 1846. Many were forced from their land and moved to Oklahoma, while some of the Miami people stayed in Indiana. The Miami women grew crops like corn, beans and squash. The men would hunt buffalo using bows and arrows.
The Ottowa people lived in southern Canada, Michigan, and Ohio. Like many of the tribes in this region, they spoke Algonquian. Their homes were longhouses or wigwams. Sometimes the Ottowa people would build fences around their villages to protect them. They first met French explorers in 1615 and began trading fur with them. For food the tribe would grown corn, squash, and beans. The men would hunt for rabbit and deer.

This area was explored by France first, and then British settlers came. The French and British fought over the land in the French and Indian war 1754-1763.
