The Miami Tribe is a Native American group originally from the Great Lakes region, particularly present-day Indiana and Ohio. They are part of the larger Algonquian-speaking peoples and have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional practices, language, and social structures. The tribe historically engaged in agriculture, hunting, and trade. Today, the Miami Tribe is recognized as a federally recognized tribe in the United States. They work to preserve their language and culture while also engaging in economic development initiatives. The tribe's government is based in Miami, Oklahoma, where many members relocated in the 19th century due to forced removal policies.
