The Northwest Territory was to be given away by British forces under the treaty of Pairs in 1783. However, the American Indian tribes in Northwest Territories put up a strong resistance and refused to be ruled over by American forces while the British helped them. In first attempt the American forces had to bear large number of casualties during war, however a later attempt to gain control proved to be successful.

In 1791, Little Turtle, a chief of the Miami tribe, led Native American forces that defeated American troops in the Northwest Indian War. His forces achieved a significant victory against an army led by General Josiah Harmar near present-day Fort Wayne, Indiana. This defeat highlighted the growing resistance of Native American tribes against U.S. expansion into their territories. Little Turtle's success at this battle was a key moment in the conflict over land in the Northwest Territory.
After the Battle of Thames in 1813, where Tecumseh and his confederation of Native American tribes fought against American forces, Tecumseh was killed. His death marked a significant blow to Native American resistance against American expansion in the Northwest Territory. Following his demise, the confederation he led began to disintegrate, leading to diminished resistance to U.S. encroachment on Native lands. Tecumseh's legacy, however, continued to inspire Native American movements for years to come.
Native Americans had to give up land in the Treaty of Greenville, signed in 1795, as a result of military defeat and pressure from American settlers who were expanding westward. Following the Northwest Indian War, which pitted various Native tribes against American forces, the treaty was seen as a way to establish peace and facilitate settlement in the Northwest Territory. The agreement ceded significant portions of land to the United States, undermining Native American sovereignty and their traditional territories. This loss was a significant turning point in the ongoing conflict between Native Americans and European settlers over land rights.
The leader of the Native Americans was Chief little Turtle and the leader of the U.S. Forces was General Josiah Harmar.
