Native Peoples of Illinois
Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the clouds, and the great sea, as well as the earth? Did not the Great Spirit make them all
for the use of His children?
--Tecumseh (Shooting Star), Shawnee

The differences between the American Great Father and his French and British forerunners became stark … following the Black Hawk War [of 1832]. Under these earlier regimes, military and economic alliance between the Natives and their European patrons had helped to create a world conducive to their mutual benefit. The fur trade, while it altered Indian economies and regional ecology, depended on the preservation of Indians’ way of life and continued ownership of their land …
American officials had labored to replicate this milieu … [S]uccess proved short-lived, however, as white miners flooded [the Northwest Territory] and lay bare the limits of America’s loyalty to its Indian allies. Unlike earlier European interlopers, American miners and settlers were not subject to interdependency with the Indians. The only thing they required of the Natives was for them to be gone.
