Little Turtle and Shawnee chief 	Tecumseh led the Miami and Shawnee people to resist	 white settlers in the western part of Ohio. They 	successfully defeated United States soldiers led by 	Josiah Harmar in October 1790 and soldiers led by 	Arthur St. Clair in 1791. An attack on Fort Recovery 	failed in 1794 and Little Turtle wanted to negotiate 	with the settlers. Other chiefs wanted to continue 	fighting. The Native Americans lost at the Battle of 	Fallen Timbers and in 1795 they signed the Treaty of 	Greene Ville ceding most of Ohio to the settlers.
