Salt Lick Reservation Controversy
The Salt Lick Reservation controversy was a land speculation and corruption scandal involving Andrew Jackson, who was the seventh U.S. president, serving from 1828 to 1836. The controversy began in 1818 when Jackson was a Indian agent, United States Indian commissioner and ended during his presidency in 1832. The "salt lick reserve" clause of the Treaty of Tuscaloosa between the Chickasaw and the U.S. government was alleged to be a corrupt transfer of Indigenous land to business partners of the treaty commissioners, who had taken advantage of their public trust as government agents to obtain the lands through backchannels at prices very much below market value. The United States Congress prevented the transfer of the "salt lick reserve" in 1818 and again in the 1830s. It is not clear that there was ever any salt resource in the first place; it may have merely been an invented pretext for a special side deal under the guise of delivering value to the Chickasaw for their real esta ...

Miami People
The Miami ( Miami-Illinois: ''Myaamiaki'') are a Native American nation originally speaking one of the Algonquian languages. Among the peoples known as the Great Lakes tribes, they occupied territory that is now identified as North-central Indiana, southwest Michigan, and western Ohio. The Miami were historically made up of several prominent subgroups, including the Piankeshaw, Wea, Pepikokia, Kilatika, Mengakonkia, and Atchakangouen. In modern times, Miami is used more specifically to refer to the Atchakangouen.
