Real Estate Abstract for Poplar Neighborhood
(Edited in red for clarity.) The Treaty of Greenville 1795 forced the First Nations to accept the taking of their homeland via a public land survey designed
to efficiently grab key river points such as the confluence of rivers, portages and trading areas.

The Poplar Neighborhood is located in the 80 acres
shown by a red border on this map from the Standard Atlas of Allen County, By Geo. A. Ogle and Co. in 1898, via the Allen County INGenWeb Project, https://www.acgsi.org/genweb/county/records/land-records-allen-county-indiana.html

Wayne Township, roughly six miles square, is described in the Treaty of Greenville of 1795
as one of the areas the First Nations were forced to "cede to the United States" in their ongoing holocaust,
a genocidal project wrapped in an artificial narrative of peace.
Private reserves of land were cut out for dividing the Miami people between a landed gentry and ''wild Indians.''
The racial supremacists' divide and conquer strategy over the Miami people included cultural destruction and economic class geographic separation.
The conquest was designed to solidify the United States and reconcile Euro-imperial competition and lay the groundwork for the next steps in the taking of Miami homeland.
The white supremacists forced the free Indians from their hunting, fishing, farming and foraging land.

The final solution against free Indians was to force them to leave Indiana while the landed class could stay in Indiana.
Those living freely around Fort Wayne such as the land purchased by the granddaughter of Chief Little Turtle here in the Poplar Neighborhood, without a private reserve,
were harassed, hunted and rounded up on canal boats for shipping out of Indiana.

Fortunately the racist plan to rid Indiana of the dispossessed Indians failed to find them all, and some simply walked back.
Those who were bought out under duress with private land reserves and trading rights, or otherwise survived in Indiana,
became the Miami Nation of Indiana Miami Indians of Indianaand are headquartered at a tribal complex in Miami County.
The Miami Nation of Oklahomahas attained a parcel of homeland in Allen County to continue their work for international solidarity.
The reconciliation of the Oklahoma and Indiana Miami nations is ongoing. The First Nations' struggle continues.

Today the Poplar Neighborhood welcomes all people and recognizes the important heritage and ongoing challenge of the First Nations.

President Joe Biden selected Debra Haaland as the first Native American to serve in a Cabinet position in U.S. history.
She is Secretary of the Interior, the office overseeing the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

In 1990 the BIA ruled against the Miami Nation of Indiana petition to be recognized by the federal government. The Indiana Miami tribe was illegally stripped of their recognition rights in 1898.
