Miami Indian Subagency (Indiana)

Indian Tribes Associated With This Agency
Miami

History
The Miami Subagency was established in 1838 for the Miami or Eel River Indians, previously assigned to the Indiana Agency. Much of the correspondence for the agency has to do with the Miami Indians of Kansas, rather that those in Indiana. The agency was located at Logansport, Indiana. The subagency was effectively discontinued in 1856 following the removal of the Miami Indians to the Osage River area in Kansas.
