94: At Our Doorstep: The 1826 Treaty of Paradise Spring


Listen Later

Sometimes history's most intriguing tales are not nestled in the far reaches of the wilderness or enshrined within the hallowed walls of ancient institutions—they lie quietly at our doorstep. Just a stone's throw from our office, a humble circle of log cabins whispers the story of the 1826 Treaty of Paradise Spring, a pivotal chapter in the relationship between the Potawatomi and Miami tribes and the burgeoning United States government.

This episode invites you on a journey to the past, right in our own neighborhood. Here, at the unassuming crossroads of civilization and sovereignty, we explore the depths of a treaty that reverberates through time, affecting the lives and destinies of the Potawatomi and Miami people. As we tread the same ground where two worlds collided in negotiation, we reflect on the complexities of this historical event, its aftermath, and the lessons it imparts about the nuanced tapestry of American history.

Join us as we uncover the legacy that resides at the end of our street, where every footstep is a testament to the enduring narratives that have shaped our nation.

Discover the echoes of the past that surround us, often hidden in plain sight, waiting for their stories to be told.
