From Ohio History Central On April 23, 1836, the Wyandot Indians
agreed to relinquish all claims to three parcels of land in
Crawford County, Ohio. Under this agreement, the United States
government would sell the land and provide the Indians with all
profits from the land sale. The Treaty with the Wyandots, along
with several other treaties between Native Americans and the
United States government during the first decades of the
nineteenth century, marked the slow but gradual removal of
native people to land west of the Mississippi River. The removal
of the Indians opened much of Ohio to settlement. - Carpenter,
