Editing Dublin, Ohio (section)

===Native Americans===
Native Americans from the [[Hopewell tradition|Hopewell]], [[Adena culture|Adena]], [[Lenape|Delaware]], [[Shawnee]], and [[Wyandot people|Wyandot]] were among the first known inhabitants of the countryside that was to become Dublin, Ohio.

The Wyandot had moved to the Ohio countryside after being decimated by disease and a disastrous war with the Five Nations of the [[Iroquois]] in their homeland near Georgian Bay. In 1794, [[General Anthony Wayne]] defeated the Wyandot and other Ohio American Indian peoples at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, leading to the Wyandot surrendering most of their land in Ohio with the signing of the [[Treaty of Greenville]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Wyandot Indians - Ohio History Central|url=https://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Wyandot_Indians|access-date=2021-10-13|website=ohiohistorycentral.org|language=en}}</ref>

Chief Shateyaronyah, an important leader known to locals as "[[Leatherlips]]",<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Leatherlips {{!}} Shateyaronyah {{!}} Wyandot {{!}} Ohio |url=http://touringohio.com/history/leatherlips.html |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=touringohio.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Dublin Ohio|url=http://touringohio.com/central/franklin/dublin/dublin.html|access-date=2021-10-13|website=touringohio.com}}</ref> had signed the Treaty of Greenville on August 3, 1795, and encouraged cooperation with white settlers near the end of his life. That policy of accommodating Europeans led to conflict with a movement led by two Shawnee brothers, [[Tecumseh]] and [[Tenskwatawa]] (The Prophet). Tenskwatawa reacted strongly against Leatherlips and condemned him to death for signing away native lands, and for "witchcraft". More likely was that this was for his refusal to join the Shawnee. Rather than break the pledge that he signed in 1795, Leatherlips was killed in 1810.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Leatherlips – Wyandotte Nation|url=http://wyandotte-nation.org/culture/history/biographies/leatherlips/|access-date=2021-10-13|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-11-17|title=Leatherlips Story Lives on Through Local Legend|url=https://columbusneighborhoods.org/story/leatherlips-story-lives-on-through-local-legend/|access-date=2021-10-13|website=Columbus Neighborhoods|language=en-US}}</ref> The Leatherlips sculpture in Scioto Park was created to honor Chief Shateyaronyah in 1990.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.visitdublinohio.com/listing/scioto-park/383/|title = Scioto Park}}</ref>
