Mingo

Mingo Tribe ===The Mingos were a small group of Indians related to the Iroquois. They are sometimes called the Ohio Seneca Indians. Members of several Iroquois tribes lived among the Mingos. In the 1760s, the Mingos lived for a while in eastern Ohio near Steubenville. By the early 1770s they had moved to central Ohio. One of their villages was on the banks of the Scioto River at the site of modern Columbus.=== ===Captain William Crawford led an attack against the Mingo village on the Scioto River at the close of Lord Dunmore's War in 1774. The Mingos fled across Ohio and became scattered. Some Mingos later lived with the Miami Indians in Champaign and Logan counties. Other Mingos lived along the Sandusky River. These Indians became known as the Seneca of Sandusky. In 1831 the United States forced them to sell their land and they were moved to reservations in the West.===
