Several years ago when Miami was going through eliminating the “Redskin” nickname, I was involved in the leadership of the Southern California alumni chapter which opposed the name change. We had Chief Joseph come out and speak to us at our annual brunch.
I am now president-elect of the Oregon-California Trails Association. Two weeks ago I participated in a special tribal listening session at Fort Hall, Idaho, under the auspices of the National Park Service. The purpose was to establish relationships and do a more accurate job of interpreting trail history. There was representation of several western tribes including Umatilla, Nez Perce, Omaha, Northern Cheyenne, and several bands of Shoshone. I am not aware of any of the National Historic Trails impacting the Miamis, except perhaps the Trail of Tears.
I would be interested in following the progress of this Center.

PS You have in the King Library an 1825 map which shows much of Northern Indiana still Miami territory, and a little dot in SW Ohio labelled Oxford.
