The event that forced Native Americans to give up their land in present-day Ohio was the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, which followed the defeat of a confederation of Native American tribes at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.

It marked a turning point in U.S. expansion and led to increased settlement by European Americans in the region, further displacing Native American populations.

Ultimately, it foreshadowed a future fraught with challenges, but also resilience and adaptation as Native Americans sought to preserve their heritage and sovereignty.
This was a brutal event for Native Americans. They were walked in the dead of winter from Georgia to Oklahoma. Men, women, children, sick, old, and babies were forced to leave their ancestral lands. They died from disease, injuries, and starvation. There is a reason it is called Trail of Tears.
