Miami University is located within the traditional homelands of the Myaamia
and Shawnee people, who along with other indigenous groups ceded these
lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The
Miami people, whose name our university carries, were forcibly removed from
these homelands in 1846.In 1972, a relationship between Miami University
and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma began and evolved into a reciprocal
partnership, including the creation of the Myaamia Center at Miami
University in 2001. The work of the Myaamia Center serves the Miami Tribe
community and is dedicated to the revitalization of Miami language and
culture and to restoring that knowledge to the Myaamia people.  Learn more
