Possible move

edit

This article was intended to be analogous to the Indian removals in Indiana article, but Indian land cession treaties in Ohio didn't actually require removal of Indians. Indians removed themselves voluntarily, and either went west to Indiana or confined themselves to tiny reservations. So the article might be more properly titled "Indian land cessions in Ohio". I haven't moved the page while I wait for comment. Sbalfour (talk) 20:18, 16 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I think this page is appropriate. Above, you wrote "Indians removed themselves voluntarily," but I don't think that is accurate. See here (Mary Stockwell's book blurb: "Over the course of three decades the Ohio Indians were forced to move to the West"). --GoldCoastPrior (talk) 18:18, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
