All gave some and some gave all
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all.....

The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, or myaamiaki in their language, is a great lakes woodland Tribe whose aboriginal homelands include the modern states of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, southern Michigan and southern Wisconsin. Following a treaty signed in 1840, the Miami were forcibly removed from their homelands in October of 1846 to a reserve near La Cygne, Kansas where they remained for approximately 25 years. Another treaty called for their second, and final, removal south to a reserve held for them in Indian Territory, in what would become Ottawa County, Oklahoma. Thomas F. Richardville, a Miami tribal leader recognized today as a chief, was one of the "fathers" of Miami.
